Notes

Although only a part elevation this drawing appears to be complete - that is, not just a fragment. Notably the horizontal lines rarely go to the edges of the sheet. The attic was added to the drawing later, on 9 June, and is dated separately. Although drawn by J. M. Gandy the design is probably still attributable to Soane as it matches a plan made in the Soane Office (SM 51/3/41) and another, complete elevation (SM 51/3/46).
