Notes
Rowles's design, using motifs such as lyres, crossed pens, monkeys, leafy swags and so on, is competent and it is likely that he had an architectural education from his uncle Henry Holland before (with Holland's help) becoming a developer and, it seems, selling on the ground lease for 143 Piccadilly (see note to [SM D4/10/3]).
Fourteen further drawings have been associated with Rowles on the grounds of hand ([SM D4/10/1], [SM D4/10/3], [SM D4/10/14], [SM D4/10/15], [SM D4/10/35], [SM D4/10/28], [SM D4/10/34], [SM D4/10/47], [SM D4/10/46], [SM D4/10/29], [SM D4/10/44], [SM D4/10/43], [SM D4/10/42], [SM D4/10/7]) and he may have been the builder of the Dance-Hollands' mansion.
REPRODUCED. Stroud fig.75b.
