The inscription on this drawing makes clear it is a copy from existing drawings in the Office of Works' own holdings. SM 37/1/5 gives The Stone Building's complete elevation to St Margaret's Street, dated 20 September 1793. The latter was prepared for an entirely different scheme to that of the Law Courts.
