Notes
Drawing 3 offers an alternative design for the front. In each, the plan is the same as that of drawing 1 and the right-hand elevation is also the same as that of drawing 1. However, though the massing is the same, the left-hand elevation offers a pedimented portico in antis with, on either side, a two-storey, round-headed and recessed arch framing an upstairs and downstairs window.
