Dear HistArchers,

> The owners of a grand stables building in the Midlands of Tasmania are
> seeking to complete the unfinished tower of this 1851 stone building.
> Unfortunately, no plans are known to exist.
> The architect, Francis Butler, was English and circumstantial evidence
> suggests he either brought the plans with him or copied the design from an
> existing building or pattern book.
> If anyone can suggest a possible source for the building it will be good
> news indeed for everyone involved in the conservation of a building of
> regional significance in Tasmania. It occurred to me that members of this
> list may have come across a similar building in the UK or perhaps elsewhere
> and that this may provide an indication of the design of the top of the
> tower.
