Notes
There is no model in the Soane Museum that matches this drawing. The only model of the Treasury Offices in the Museum's collections dating to 1827 is a small-scale model with both 'wings' of the new building and the Triumphal Arch on Downing Street (L91). It sits on the mantelpiece in the Dining Room of No. 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields beneath Thomas Lawrence's portrait of Soane.
