Notes
'Design No 3' has two parts (drawings [6] and [7]). The stairs lead from the level of the hall to a gallery of communication across the west side of the room. Leaving this gallery from either end and then turning eastwards brings the subject to another gallery on the east side of the hall that provides access to Dorset House (on drawing [7]).
