Drawn to scale with the words "Whole extent 77 "0 [77 feet]" written on sheet. The architectural drawings numbered PD AD 3125 - PD AD 3138 were bound previously together in a modern binding in the NLI on 30 June 1978 and are sometimes known as the Wyatt-Penrose volume as Thomas Penrose (1740-1792), engineer and architect, acted as James Wyatt’s agent/assistant for his Irish works from 1772 until 1787. Wyatt sent his architectural drawings from his London office to Penrose in Ireland to be executed. Penrose was subsequently appointed Inspector of Civil Buildings following the death of Thomas Cooley in 1784. |
