Notes
The drawing shows a two-storey house with a canted centre bay and, either side, a plain tripartite window on the ground floor and a low, two-storey ten-bay office wing.
This elevation seems to be related to, for example, [SM D2/8/29] by an unidentified architect for an unidentified six-part villa in a Classical style. In particular, both are of two storeys and three bays, have a low hipped roof and tripartite windows on the ground floor.
