PLATE L. Another Draught which I made for the same noble Lord, without the projecting Closets and Stairs. It is 168 feet in front by 75 feet in depth, and has the same number of Rooms and Conveniencies as the other, only varied in form and order.

It is 136 feet in front, and 72 feet deep. You ascend by 14 Steps to a Hall of 21 by 31 feet, and from thence enter a double Cube 30 feet wide, 20 feet high, and 60 feet long. It has four good Apartments, and publick Rooms in the middle of each End Front. The upper Plan shews the Lodging Rooms one pair of Stairs, which are all made private by a common Passage between the Stairs.

PLATE LIII. The Front of the foregoing Plan, of the Ionick Order, rais'd on a Rustick Basement, with a regular Entablature round the whole Building. The Ornaments of the Outer Doors and Windows, the Columns, Entablature, Coines and Basement, were proposed to be made of Portland Stone, and the rest of Brick.

PLATE LIV. The Plan and Front of a Design made for a Person of Quality in 1720. From the Hall you enter between a double Stair-case into a Dining-Room richly adorn'd, having a handsome Apartment on each hand. The Stairs are lighted from above.
