A1 brown paper folded in half around the tracing paper drawings

An A1 size piece of paper is folded around two more pieces of A2 paper with additional drawings. The inside of the A1 paper contains pencil elevations of a domed building with columns and ornate entablature. The exterior has pencil elevations and ground plans of a multistorey unidentified building. There are also elevations of a house with multipaned windows and additional drawings, including those of domed ceilings. The enfolded paper A2 on the right hand side has cross sections of an unidentified three storey building with attic space and basement. The name on the top left corner is 'Mr R. Wilson'. There is a caption in pencil which appears to say 'From the level of the flags on front - the bottom of the window'. The cross section is drawn in pencil and ink with a pale pink wash. The other piece of A2 paper has pencil ground plans on both sides with designs for the bases of columns.

The plans are folded inside the elevations on a separate piece of card. The elevations depict the entrance front, the principle elevation, and the garden elevation of a grand detached brick building with three floors. It has been coloured using a brown colour wash. The plans show the ground floor and the first floor with flaps of paper being used to propose alterations. These are sketched in pencil with a pink wash on the walls. The date (March 1853) is inscribed on the right hand side next to Frederick Bell's signature. There is also a note in pencil which reads 'Hookstone [?]'.
