Notes
The drawing has some illegible pencil notes by the builder and was probably used on site. Previous plans ([SM D1/10/29] and [SM D1/10/28]) show the porte-cochere walls immediately on either side of the entrance as quadrant on plan; here they are set diagonally and on [SM D1/10/23] (the 'as built' plan where the porte-cochere is hatched in, suggesting that it was not yet built) the walls start diagonally from the door and then straighten out.
