Notes
Drawing 55 shows a three storey with basement house with five bays, the centre bay projecting and with a broken-pedimented tripartite window on the ground floor. The curving steps to the entrance at the right hand side of the bank were not built, and a new entrance was constructed to a different design instead (see drawings 90 and 96).
