Purpose

Design for the dressing room, as executed with alterations, 1761 (1)

Notes

The dressing room is in the south corner of the house, on the ground floor, adjacent to the library. This design was largely executed, although with two windows on the south-east wall rather than the Venetian window. There is a plan and laid out wall elevations by Adam for the dressing room at Shardeloes, with a plan and section of the ceiling on an attached flyleaf in the RIBA drawings collection.
