Notes
The only discernible difference between drawing 131 and the next closest ground floor plan (drawing 124) is the location of the entrance to the water closet at the top of the drawing. The section at the top of drawing 132 shows the access to the roof of the new State Paper Office while the pencil section to the left shows the brick vaulting of the attic ceiling. The chimney stacks are shown to the same design as in drawing 130 with the addition in some cases of a crenellated top.
