Variant preliminary designs for an unidentified villa in a late Gothic style, 80 feet by 51 feet

[4] Front elevation close to [SM D2/8/20] but with Castle-style amendments

Scale

1/8 in to 1 ft

Medium and dimensions

Pen, sepia wash, pencil on wove paper (220 x 295)

Notes

Dance has enlivened the earlier elevation ([SM D2/8/20]) by widening the windows and turrets and enclosing the end windows in a three-storey semicircular blind arch. The skyline is now more dramatic: the parapet has battlements, the end bays have another storey added and the square lantern tower is emphasised by tall smoking chimneys.
