Set 7, Elevation for flanking wings, 1809 February 4
Scope and Contents
In the center of this single drawing is a two-story house marked "The Ground of Old House." It appears to date from circa 1790, and it has a high basement, a tall hipped roof, and a one story porch with a slightly projecting portico. Walker designed alternatives for a pair of adjacent wings. Both wings have round projecting bays, and one bay has three windows and the other a Palladin window. Both wings were to have a high basement to match the house, but mezzanine floors rather than a full second story. The house and each wing was to be of similair width, and the architect noted "The whole extends 160 feet."
