Notes
SM volume 41/71 and SM volume 41/72 are alternative designs for the proposed stables and offices, also showing an outline of the proposed house. With its proposed additions, the house is on an elongated L-shaped plan, the west front being symmetrical with bow windows at both ends and the entrance front having an asymmetrical elevation with a semicircular portico. The offices and stables, in pink on both plans, extend to the north and are on axis with each other.
In SM volume 41/71, the stables are arranged on a semicircular plan, with three principal buildings arranged around a court approximately 81 feet 3 inches by 84 feet 6 inches. SM volume 41/72 has the stable ranges on a simpler rectilinear arrangement, consisting of three separate buildings. In both designs, entrances to the stables court bookend the south office range.
The offices in both drawings are on a rectangular plan; In SM volume 41/71 the offices are linked to the house.
