Notes: Large Thomsonian design with Byzantine elements.

It is possible that the design published in the 'Architect' is not for the same 'warehouse for Mr Robert Balfour' listed in Skirving's nomination paper; the design may be unexecuted and the location of Robert Balfour's warehouse is unknown, but it seems likely that they are the same.
