    - Apsley House, Piccadilly, London: plans, elevations, section and designs for the interior, and an elevation for the gatehouse, for the 2nd Earl Bathurst, 1771-1779 (56)

Purpose

Preliminary design and design for a chimneypiece for the ground floor drawing room (now the entrance hall), 1774, possibly executed (2)

Notes

This design for a chimneypiece for the ground floor drawing room (now the entrance hall) is the earliest known design for an Apsley interior. Lea notes that the chimneypiece was most likely removed when the room was altered by Benjamin Wyatt (1828-1830).
