Notes
The drawing shows the exterior wall of the saloon; it is difficut to know what is the cladding material with its lattice pattern. There is the new large window with a circular window to each side as shown on the interior drawings [40] and [41]. The purpose of the drawing is to show the shutters 'closed' and 'open' but how to explain the 'Looking Glass'? Presumably it is a shutter to the round window and to be invisible must reflect the lattice patterning opposite?
Drawings [32] and [33] (q.v.) are designs for the front and back verandahs made in 1806 and do not show, for example, the large window to the eating room.
