Notes
A copy of this design for a veranda was sent to Robins on 22 June 1803, roughly a year after the completion of the house. The design echoes the triumphal arch motif of the entrance front (q.v. drawing [7]). The veranda must have been intended for the entrance front - the width of the recess shown in the plan is a little over 16 feet, as in the plan drawing [5], and the height to the apex of the pediment roughly matches the height to the base of the pediment in drawing [7]. It is unknown if the veranda was executed.
