Summary
An architectural drawing. A Plan of the House, Offices, Yards and Gardens. Survey plan of the house, gardens, offices and stables as a proposal, first half of the 18th century. It's post 1705, because the Orangery already exists, but it is pre-1749, because the bay window on the north side of the west wing isn't shown. Interesting are the service buildings, the Granary (see #122) stands separately and there is a separate Kitchen (G), probably #4. Various types of gardens, stable building is quite a distance from the house. Pen and brown ink, brown wash, pencil. Fixed on linen. Verso: Some traces of pencil scribbles visible through the linen.
