Notes
A comparison with drawing [4] shows that the breakfast room has gone and in its place is a room for Mr Dennistoun and a store closet. The study is now the library and there is a drawing room at the rear with steps to the garden, and an eating room on the street side of the house. The house measures '49:7½' wide and '50:1½' deep excluding the area on the south side which is now shown with a five foot wide passage way to the rear and two single storey basement buildings.
