| Place of origin |
An early design for the west range wings of the south, or garden front at Castle Howard, Yorkshire. The elevation shows a one-story building with seven bays in the central section with round-headed windows separated by Corinthian pilasters and a pavilion with an attic at one end. The dome of the pavilion is cut off and the right-hand end of the sheet is missing. Another line is drawn below the ground line, possibly indicating preliminary ideas for the later rusticated basement.
The pavilion relates closely to E.2826-1995 and the possible planned rustication to E.422-1951.
