I agree Sadly even Pevsner s heirs gave this mediocre architecture only a hurried cursory glance and right up Missing two important things one a real buttress and some fenestration indicating 16th 17th century original work and I suspect some 1st generation English Palladianism too It is clear to anyone with any practical knowledge of building and structural engineering that those pilasters best word I can think of for them are not buttresses they are a decorative feature They are not high enough to be buttresses they do not protrude enough and they are in the wrong place for a strain to be occurring especially just 20 years after the facade was originally completed They are clearly meant to complement the portico which they do quite well There is some quite fascinating interesting architecture here and I fail to see why it can t be mentioned because some people never bothered or were deterred from looking for it talk Architect In hopes of identifying an architect I checked Colvin no listing for Tracy Park
