Notes

Drawing 164 shows the underside of the landing on the attic floor above the principal staircase. The staircase was top-lit and so the attic landing took the form of a gallery with a large, 12'11'' by 9'6'', central opening. The floors were supported by 16 scrolled brackets decorated with rosettes, shown in plan and elevation.
