Diagram of a Building

This is the inside back cover of the sketchbook which contains a diagrammatic plan of an unknown building. Turner has annotated the drawing with several notations, the details of which suggest that it represents a domestic building. The inscriptions are as follows: along the top, or shortest side of the plan ‘corner | 9 courses of bricks | 8 courses 2 feet’ and ‘[?7 18]’ and ‘63.8’; along the right-hand side ‘10 Feet’ and ‘12 courses from flooring’; and along the left-hand side ‘Chimney’ and ‘51’ and ‘3.6’ and ‘3.2’ and ‘4 feet from floor’.
