Notes
This sheet is of interest due to the annotations which record the salient features of the previous building, which were referenced to compile the survey. The annotations appear to relate to the preceeding sheets of preliminary survey drawings in the front of this volume, datable to September 1822. The arched opening is unlike those on the basement level of The Stone Building (see SM 37/1/5) and must relate to a different project.
