Notes
The plan of Design A is essentially the same as the design added to Mr Mathew's survey drawing ([SM D1/9/3]), with a porte-cochere replacing the canted bay on the west front. The three-storey elevations in this set of drawings show a castellated design with pseudo-four-centred windows. The north elevation is not shown since offices were to be designed for this front.
It is interesting to note that orientation, the location of the office wing and disposition of the main rooms have all been determined. The essential difference between this and the executed scheme is that Design A is a five-part plan with three storeys while the built design has a nine-part plan with two storeys.
