Notes

This drawing undoubtedly relates to Soane's Royal Entrance to the House of Lords. Soane was directed to add a porte-cochère to his curved, Gothick arcade and it was suggested that this needed to be as wide as the arch of the carriage way of the Horse Guards building (shown here to be 11'8'' between the inner walls).
