Notes

This is a finished drawing with glazing and window guards drawn in. The 12-sided roof is now embellished above the cornice by twin recumbent consoles at each face and at the top by an inverted cupped patera with a finial. This decoration gives a light-hearted Chinese air to the roof that contrasts with the more temperate Classical front.
