Purpose
Design for the hall ceiling, April 1774; it is not known if this design was executed (1)
Notes
The hall was located on the ground storey at the front of the house behind the two left-hand bays, between the great staircase and the ante room to the eating parlour. A plan of the house can be found in the second volume of the Works in architecture of Robert and James Adam (part 1, plate 1).
As the house was demolished in 1862, and this ceiling was not illustrated in The works in architecture of Robert and James Adam, it is not known if the staircase ceiling was executed in accordance with Adam's extant design.
