Presentation drawings for the best staircase, 30 October 1796 (4)

The principal staircase is shown to communicate between the ground floor, mezzanine and first floor. This design would require a variant mezzanine floor than earlier drawings, as it shows the principal staircase communicating with the mezannine floor. In earlier designs, such as drawing 40, the mezzanine floor is only accessed by the secondary staircase.

The staircase is top-lit by a lantern measuring 7 feet 10 inches in diameter. The east side is overlooked by a gallery on the first floor. This gallery is lit by generous windows, which indirectly shed more light onto the stairs.
