Notes
The construction of Soane's additions to the Clerk of Works' House began in April 1815. This drawing, dated to that same month, is too neat or too finished to be a working drawing and is probably a record copy made as part of a pupil's education.
The drawing shows the timber structure of the ground floor. This plan (more or less) corresponds with the top-left (south-east) corner of SM volume 76/64. In the centre to the south wall is a space for the stone hearth slab. The wall shown in grey wash on the north side of the room was part of the original structure, retained by Soane.
