NOTES: Brock House was the offices and showroom for the Automotive Products Company, which was founded in America in 1920. In 1928 it received a licence to manufacture and sell the Lockheed Hydraulic Braking System in the UK and Europe. It is likely that this showroom dates from late 1920s or early 1930s. The building is now part of the BBC headquarters.

NOTES: The original scheme dates from 1967. In 1969 planning permission was promised pending the complete acquisition of the site by the developer. However, by the time Palumbo was ready to resubmit his plans, the Bank area had become a designated conservation area and many of the Victorian buildings that the scheme proposed to replace had been listed. In 1982 the scheme was refused consent. This was the 'Updated/Preferred Scheme', produced after Mies's death by William Holford & Partners in 1984, and submitted to the City Architect and Planning Officer on 5 March that year.
