NOTES: These offices were built as headquarters for the Port of London Authority's police force. The building replaces a block of offices designed by Philip Hardwick which were destroyed during the Second World War. Ivory House was designed by George Aitchison in 1860.

NOTES: Dulwich College [Alleyn's College of God's Gift] wanted to expand its campus and in the 1860s commissioned Charles Barry junior to design New College, or what are now know as the Barry Buildings, which opened in1870. In what Barry called 'North Italian of the 13th Century' these buildings are now Grade II* listed. This is possibly one of the drawings exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, London (in 1866 Dulwich New College no. 767; in 1868 AlleynÔÇÖs College, Dulwich no. 876; and in 1869 New Dulwich College; interior no. 1018). It could also be one of the three drawings of ÔÇÿAlleynÔÇÖs CollegeÔÇÖ exhibited at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1878.

NOTES: The church was begun in 1471 just before Alberti's death. It was completed by Luca Fancelli in 1494. It was enlarged in 1530 under the direction of Giulio Romano. This involved the demolition of the east end of the nave-only design to make way for the later Latin cross extension. Designs were drawn up by Filippo Juvarra for the addition of a dome in 1733, but the project was not completed until 1781 by Paolo Pozzo, who was also responsible for decorating the interior.
