Rendered elevations and plans for two designs for country houses

- These elevations and plans show two country houses; the house on the left has rusticated stone work, while the house on the right has Gothic Revival details, notably in the stone work of the square staircase tower. Both houses are shown in rendered elevations with three plans on the bottom half of the sheet. To the right of the border there is a narrow section of the house on the right.
