Notes

The additions are washed in a light red. A comparison with drawing [14] design No.1 shows that, for example, it has a kitchen and scullery while [15] No.2 has a house keeper's room and a store room but no indication of the whereabouts of the kitchen. The butler's room is moved around while the wine cellars are differently formed.
