Notes

Sills and a cornice are labelled 'Stone'.

The front and back elevations show that Dance's two-storey wing is the same height as the two floors and attics of the old house. The east front of Dance's wing has three round-arched windows at the ground floor, three square-headed windows above and, lighting the linking lobbies, plain narrow windows. The back has a single round-arched ground floor window within a corresponding blind arch with a blind arch either side. The first floor windows are blind except for the centre one. Two small circular windows light the linking lobbies.

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.
