Designs for a gateway, c1777, unexecuted

Signed and dated

  • c1777
    datable to c1777

Notes

Like Adam’s designs for the house, the first scheme for the M-shaped gateway at The Oaks comprised a mixture of classical and castle-style motifs, while the alternative scheme (SM Adam volume 29/37) makes additional use of the rustic style, including wood cladding. None of Adam’s designs for the gateway were executed.
