NOTES: From the Moulton-Barrett Volume (p. 196), a volume of originals and tracings of office drawings collected by Octavius Barrett during the time he worked in Barry's office.
NOTES: The frieze was eventually carved in situ from Darley Dale stone by Henry Pegram in 1907, although fewer figures feature in the final carving than can be seen in this design.
NOTES: A previous Durdans house on this site was largely destroyed by fire in 1755. Charles Dalbiac purchased the ruins in 1764 and employed William Newton to remodel the house.
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.
NOTES: The Lysicrates Monument is the best preserved example of a Choregic monument and is one of the earliest examples of a Greek monument built according to the Corinthian order. In 1658 a French Capuchin monastery was founded around the monument itself (which was known as the 'Lantern of Diogenes'). The monastery was demolished during the Greek war of Independence in 1821 and the monument was subsequently restored by French architects Fran+â-ºois Boulanger and E. Loviot.
