Notes
The east elevation of the house (which is not finished) corresponds to [SM D1/11/24] except that there are no blind windows and no parapet. The unexecuted design for offices shows a three-storey, three-bay building with a hipped roof linked to a pyramidally roofed two-storey pavilion.
[SM D1/11/30] with the shallow-hipped, slate roof drawn in shows Dance's acceptance of a two-storey building - presumably because of costs. It is ironic that another storey was (sympathetically) added by Frederick Pepys Cockerell (1833-78) in 1862.
