NMRS PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF COWDENKNOWES DRAWINGS

A small collection of views and plans for Cowdenknowes acquired, with the house, by Miss Scott Plummer Cowdenknowes [whose permission to reproduce]. Copied 1993.

This small collection includes an important early photograph of 1862, before the Baronial additions; a presentation perspective of additions, by Brown and Wardrop, 1867, which was not executed, and several other plans which explain the development of the house.

NMRS have contract drawings by Watherston the Builders for transforming the old tower into the entrance hall in 1883. See also 'Sime's Memorabilia' in the NMRS.
