Notes
The arches of the entrance hall have been changed from three-centred to pseudo-four-centred, that is, made more Gothic; the ceiling is ribbed and Dance's full size details employ half- and three-quarter-circle mouldings. Joints shown on the drawing (and on [SM D1/13/24]) indicate that the plaster was to be ruled so as to imitate masonry, and this was carried out on the walls (not arch mouldings) of the entrance hall, Polygon Hall and stair and is still visible. The arch mouldings of the entrance hall have a painted plaster finish on timber while those on the ground floor of the Polygon Hall are painted plaster on masonry.
