Notes
One of Dance's difficulties in adding a giant portico to two existing houses was dealing with access to the basements on either side. To stop people falling into the basement, a barrier had to be put across either end of the portico (in [SM D5/8/14] this was a low stone wall, here it is a railing) as well as on the pavement. The pavement railing is here planned on a right-angle and with a pedestal termination.
