Notes
The elevation corresponds, more or less, to what is shown of the existing building in Dance's proposals for remodelling [SM D2/8/9]. The flier indicates Parkinson's conservative but seemly proposal to regularise the front so that the existing, old-fashioned link bay between the house and offices on the left is rebuilt to match the more up-to-date, two-storey wing on the right. He also adds a fluted Doric porch and balustraded roof parapet to the three-bay centre and a matching slate roof to replace the earlier tiled roof.
