NOTES: From the Moulton-Barrett Volume (p. 124), a volume of originals and tracings of office drawings collected by Octavius Barrett during the time he worked in Barry's office.
NOTES: This site was redeveloped and the ornate facade of the distllery was re-erected at 55 Britton Street in 1975 as a condition of the demolition of the original building.
NOTES: This octagonal tower dates from the 1st century BC and was originally the 'Horolgion of Andronykos Kyrrhestes'. It served as a water clock until the 6th century. The sides of the tower indicate the eight points of the Athenian compass, and the eight winds associated with these points are represented allegorically on the marble frieze that runs around the tower.

The wallpaper is William Morris's pomegranate pattern and the frieze was painted by H. S. Marks, R.A. on canvas pasted to the plaster.
