Robert and James Adam office drawings
- Country houses
  - Lowther Hall and village, Penrith, Cumberland: designs for a model village, and unexecuted designs for rebuilding Lowther Hall, a dairy, banqueting house, gateway and stables for Sir James Lowther, 5th Baronet, 1766-71 and 1785 (41)
    - Lowther Hall

Preliminary designs, a design, and a finished drawing (possibly made for publication) for a rectangular house, 1771, unexecuted (5)

This is Robert Adam's fourth and final scheme for the house. None of Adam's designs for Lowther Hall or its estate buildings was executed.

The use of crenellated turrets of varying shapes is typical of Adam's mature castle-style designs, and was replicated in his designs for Dalquharran, Oxenfoord, and Culzean.
