Notes
The labels on this plan of the roof of the New State Paper Office (drawing 198) show the rooms to which each of the chimneys belong. On the west side of the building there are two 'blank' chimneys, built to maintain the symmetry of that elevation. The letters A-G and the sections through the walls H and I and the blocking course show the heights at which the different parts of the roof meet the walls. Drawing 199 shows the arrangement of some of the flues within the walls of the building.
