Notes
The details of an applied order and a Doric frieze, with its metope ornamented with a pattera, appears to be part of the interior of the Stone Building; most probably from the staircase at the centre of the eastern flanking range. This drawing appears to be directly associated with that on the adjacent leaf (see SM Vol 54/11), though for ease of reference and consistency, it is treated as a separate sheet.
