Notes

This plan shows Soane's improvements to the Clerk of Works' House, carried out in 1807, before the construction of the Infirmary and Stables prompted any major new works. Thus the improvements are restricted to those indicated by pink wash and pencil additions - curved interior walls to the Drawing Room and a staircase in place of a store room, respectively. The plan shows the northern portion of the house, which is oriented so that the entrance, drawing room, dining room and library all face on to Paradise Row (to the north).
