Notes
While Dance's east front has single square-headed windows and the south front triple square-headed windows, the west (entrance) front has equilaterally arched ground and first floor windows enclosed within corresponding blind arches either side of a canted centre bay with lancet-arched openings (and fronted by a porte-cochere with a four-centred arch). The painting room on the second floor has four-centred windows.
The notes that the coping and turrets are to be 'the same all rou[nd]' and 'as the others now done' suggest possible problems with the building programme, as do other notes on, for example, drawing [SM D1/10/28].
See [SM D1/11/31].
REPRODUCED. Stroud fig.59a.
