Notes
This drawing is on a sheet that has been cut in half and re-used for a plan of the Council Chamber for the Board of Trade and Privy Council Office at Whitehall, dated 4 March 1825. The rough details and elevation in pencil are designs for the Council Chamber, showing a coved ceiling (or segmental arch) springing from a pier.
The attic floor plan corresponds with SM 29/5E/3, SM 29/5E/1 and SM 29/5E/2. The entire floor is shown in pink wash, indicating that it is a design for a new storey. It has five bedrooms, four of which have chimney-pieces. The bowed projection on the rear elevation in the ground floor is carried up through the attic storey, as shown in the elevation on SM 29/5E/2. The staircase is over the entrance hall. A cistern is included against its back wall.
