Notes

An alternative moulding to a smaller scale appears beneath the upper section. The lower half of the sheet contains an elevation of a square-headed opening, set in channelled rustication with voussoirs. This lower sketch appears to relate to Soane's work for George Nugent-Temple-Grenville (1753 - 1813), 1st Marquess of Buckingham, at Buckingham House (91, Pall Mall). Soane worked here in two phases; from 1792 - 1795 and 1813 - 1814. The house was demolished in 1908.
