Notes
The plan is quite rough with amendments and erasures, and without inscriptions or scale, is attributed to the younger Dance on the basis of its draughtsmanship.
Four bays wide with the door in a projection to the side, the arrangement might suggest a non-domestic use. For example, the front door opens into a large waiting hall that gives on to a corridor off which, on the street side, are three interconnected rooms or offices. On the opposite side of the corridor are three rooms, the central one (board room?) relieved by a bow.
