Notes
Soane sent Lady Pembroke four drawings on 23 July 1788, showing two variant designs for additions to the cottage at Richmond Park. As in SM 29/3/8v, neither was approved.This drawing shows the first floor of one of the proposed designs. The addition includes three bedrooms, a principal staircase, a common staircase and a water closet. The drawing also proposes a dressing room over the front porch. The first storey has three distinct floor levels.
SM 29/3/8v was rejected on account of the expense and it is probable that the same assessment was made here, as the final executed design was much less substantial.
