Finished drawing showing the elevation of the arcade and houses of the Royal Terrace, c1768-69, executed with minor alterations (1)

This is one of the promotional drawings used by the Adam office to advertise the Adelphi to prospective residents.

It is interesting to note that the exact pattern of windows and doors is not shown as executed on the ground storey of this elevation. The rhythm of windows and doors was interrupted at the centre of the block with a stretch of four windows, which meant that the central house at number 5 did not have a central door, therefore maximising the interior space.
