Notes
This is a development of [SM D3/7/9], reverting to square-headed windows with the centre light one pane wider than the others and the door now just over 4 feet wide. A continuous, lattice-fronted balcony supported on stone brackets has been drawn in. The window panes (the glazing bars incised white against a sepia wash background) seem grid-like and emphasise the stark rectilinearity of the three-light windows; window mullions and balcony brackets are all vertically aligned. The shouldered architraves of the attic storey pencilled in on [SM D3/7/9] are here fully drawn and the giant pilasters are now of the same width and have the same Corinthian capital with twin volutes and three large, broad, ribbed leaves.
