Notes
The drawing has fold marks that suggest it was carried in the pocket.
The design is for a three-storey building with a stair top-lit by a rectangular lantern, a lofty, 12-sided hall with gallery lit by a vaulted dome (17 feet high) with large semicircular-headed windows, a secondary stair, and an entrance hall on axis; the section is 119 feet long. No location is given for the house, which is based on the Coleorton theme.
