Notes
Drawing 137 is essentially a plan of the attic floor but taken at the top of the walls immediately below the roof so that it shows, for instance, the consoles beneath the cornice and the iron girders in the ceilings of the library. The detail to the left of the drawing shows a plan of one of the attic windows. The consoles are spaced 2 feet 3 inches apart.
