Notes
The overall dimensions of the plan that follows (42/20) correspond with the large area marked 38:0 by 24:0 on this plan. So that the two plans are related in some way - possibly additions to an existing building. Windows are shown only on the front of the house whose general character suggests a town house possibly in the City of London. The dimensions seem to be in the hand of James Peacock (1738?-1814), George Dance's assistant from 1771 to 1814.
