Notes
The eight-foot wide window shown here corresponds in size with that of drawing 6 so that this seems to be a design for re-modelling the drawing room (and/or bed chamber) on the first floor. Ionic order, panelling and window are conservative in design - contemporary examples of Banker's Georgian.
