Notes
Dated October1795 this appears to be the last of the designs for David Scott's house. Drawn by Soane it differs little from, for example, front elevations [25] and [26], the latter dated 17 July 1795. The door is different, it is now a three-part door with three arched heads. The turrets are all shown with three windows as in plans [19] and [20] and are circular on plan as in Soane's sketch plan of 25 July 1795. The attic storey has six 'pilasters' with crosses instead of the two shown on earlier drawings.
