Alternative designs and record drawing for the chimneypiece for the ante room to the eating parlour, 1774; it is not known if these designs were executed (3)

The ante room to the eating parlour was a segmental room, located on the ground storey at the front of the house behind the two right-hand bays, beneath the first drawing room, and between the hall and the eating parlour. A plan of the house can be found in the second volume of The works in architecture of Robert and James Adam (part 1, plate 1).

Prior to Adam's works, this space was used as the dining room, which Adam replaced with the great dining room in the rear range of the house.

As the house was demolished in 1862, and the ante room chimneypiece was not illustrated in the Works, it is not known if it was executed in accordance with any of Adam's extant variant designs.
