Purpose

Presentation drawings of alternative designs for the entrance hall, 2 January 1798 (3)

Notes

Drawings 133 to 135 show four alternative designs for the entrance hall, presented to the Marquess of Abercorn in January 1798. Soane visited the Marquess at his London home on January 5th 1798 with these four plans and perspectives accompanied by an estimate for one of the designs (Soane Journal N^o4). It is clear that the design was still not settled after this presentation, as Soane returned to the Marquess with further designs at the end of January and again in February.
