Purpose

Preliminary design and fFinished drawings for a garden pavilion, 1764, unexecuted (7)

Notes

This design for an unexecuted garden pavilion is one of three surviving alternatives produced by Adam, but the order in which these alternatives were proposed is unknown. The garden pavilion was presumably intended for one of Sir William Stanhope's two homes, either Eythrope House in Buckinghamshire or Alexander Pope's Villa at Twickenham.

This alternative design for Sir William Stanhope's garden pavilion is the largest of all three, and is related to Adam's unexecuted designs for the Kedleston viewing tower (SM Adam volume 9/152 verso and SM Adam volume 40/32-36).
