Notes
The earlier drawing [2] shows more of the decorative details for ceilings than does drawing [8]. This later drawing shows the eating room with a semicircular side table more emphatic than in [2] and outside is an extra lobby with dome and lantern. Another flanks the main stair and secondary stair in both designs. Externally, the portico of drawing [2] has given way to a more modest one on a semicrcular plan on drawing [8]..
