| Artist: | John Chute (1701-1776) |
| Title: | First Design for the gallery & round tower at Strawberry-hill, 1759 |
| Description: | Pen and ink |
Walpole wrote to Mann in September 1758, "a day may come that will produce a gallery, a round tower, a larger cloister, and a cabinet." Soon afterwards, Chute drew this design wherein all the elements prescribed to Mann are present in the plan and elevation. An alternative windowing is described by Chute on the flap attached to the drawing.
