Notes
The Royal Gallery and Committee Rooms were executed to this design: a three-bay gallery with columns is preceded by a square ante-room with prominent door and window surrounds. The gallery sits on the site of the old House of Lords, between the former Prince's Chamber and the Painted Chamber - the former of which gives way to the ante-room and an open-newel staircase. On the other side of an open area are the committee rooms, linked by a long corridor on the west side of the range. The south front of the new block is composed of five bays that are divided by pilasters.
