Notes

The three plans on drawing 40 match those of Design 'No 2' (drawings 15-38). The position of the chimneys, however, is not the same, perhaps as a result of the instruction 'no fire places to be between the Windows where it can be avoided' (q.v. drawing 27). Presumably this was to do with fireproofing - perhaps because of the positions of the flues, or else because of draughts coming through the windows.
