Notes
Dance has introduced a Doric porte-cochere on the side elevation to the right. This is of three storeys and the unconventional height of the windows (four, three and five panes high on the ground, intermediate and upper floors) suggest a mezzanine floor has been added. The best stair has been moved from the centre towards that same side. Canted bays are introduced on the back front. Single-storey offices are shown at the back and one of them may be the much-reduced original house. Pencil amendments to the elevation change the flat-headed casement windows into round-arched ones.
