Pencil, brown pen, sepia, blue and black washes with single ruled border on wove paper (298 x 517)

Notes

The river frontage consists of 17 bays divided as 5-7-5. It is of two storeys with a rusticated ground floor and a large attic over the centre. In this design the corners are rounded, although in all other respects it corresponds with SM 51/3/41. The attic was added to the design later in pencil - it is also shown on SM 51/3/43A (part elevation) but dated separately to 9 June.
