There is a set of five signed contract plans for the Keeper's House, all pricked for transfer, including a 'Parlor floor' plan dated 22 May 1783, at the Corporation of London Records Office (Surveyor's Justice Plan, vol.I, with Nos 81-83, 85, 86, all signed by William Hopcraft, John Woodall, John Mackenzie, John Willmot, John Banner and Thomas Barlow). It corresponds to this drawing except that, for example, the Soane Museum copy has four steps to the front door and the contract drawing only has one.
