Purpose

Working drawings for the offices, probably as executed, June 1790 (6)

Notes

On 28 June 1790, Soane's office sent 11 working drawings to Mr Turner, the clerk of works on site. Drawings 6 to 11 are probably copies of these drawings, showing the built design. The offices are on three storeys, with the kitchen and service rooms in the basement, bedrooms on the principal floor and an attic level over half of the building. The site slopes down to the east, allowing for larger windows in the kitchen. Drawings 8 to 10 show the design for the six flues that lead to a central chimney-stack. Drawing 9 has, in pencil, an alternative roof over the west range.
