Notes
This drawing is the last of the site drawings relating to the construction of a new Infirmary. The Infirmary plan now incorporates part of Yarborough House (the drawing room) and is formed of three attached wings fronted by a colonnade so as to provide the invalids with somewhere to exercise during bad weather. Colonel Gordon's house is marked in pencil and the remaining portion of the Whitster's residence is also labelled.
