Designs for alterations and additions to Tregenna Castle, St Ives, Cornwall, for H. L. Stevens: elevation of the south front and elevation of the new north wing with a section through the middle of the house

NOTES: The house was built in 1774 and attributed to John Wood the Younger. It has been a hotel since 1878. This design is one of a number of drawings bound into five volumes entitled 'Architectural works of George Wightwick', made between 1832 and 1850. Wightwick instructed his articled pupils to make this detailed set of retrospective drawings to illustrate every building of importance he had designed. The drawings were intended to serve both as a record of Wightwick's completed buildings and as a method of conveying to his students the design process from initial working design to finished structure.
