Notes

The elevation shows a seven-bay, two-storey, horizontally rusticated facade with an attic storey above a cornice and below another with a blocking course that is punctuated by ten roundels. All of the windows except for the three on the southeast corner and two in the centre are blind. These centre windows are four-part and are above and behind a single-storey portico with two pairs of piers that are cruciform (16-sided) in section and are decorated with lion's mask 'capitals' on four sides. The east portico, internally 18 feet 6 inches wide, is diminutive compared with the two-storey south portico that is almost 50 feet wide. As built, the east side was of six bays with (as seen in National Monuments Record photographs, 1951) no blind windows and the eclectically mannered portico was not built.

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.
