Description: | This piece has been torn and is now an L shaped work, with the top left hand corner missing. This is where the title of the piece and number of the drawing has featured on the other Tilliefoure works, hence the number of this work is unknown. Piece has a drawing on it that has been struck out on the top right hand corner and to understand which way up the piece is supposed to go is confusing as text and drawings appear both horizontally and vertically. Drawings shown appear to be full size, with the planted moulding featured in this piece. Understood to be of Tilliefoure, the arts and crafts town house in Oyne, Aberdeenshire. The dictionary of Scottish Architects makes reference to this 'Place of Tillyfour' (change of spelling noted) and stated it underwent alterations in 1897 which is in keeping with this work which is dated 1897.

Understood to be of Tilliefoure (known as Tillyfour) a grade B listed building
in the arts and crafts style. This town house is situated in Oyne, Aberdeenshire. The dictionary of Scottish Architects makes reference to this 'Place of Tillyfour' (change of spelling noted) at http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/building_full.php?id=200238 and states it underwent alterations in 1897. Which is in keeping with the inscriptions on this work, as the three pieces are dated 1897.
The work in 1897 to the property, which is also the date of the plans held at RGU is attributed (in the dictionary of Scottish Architects) to Sydney Mitchell (Arthur George Sydney Mitchell) and George Wilson.
George Wilson is shown to have links to an architect firm on 13 young Street Edinburgh, the address that appears in the bottom right hand corner of these three works. Thus it is probable that the works are by George Wilson, (who was an apprentice at Sydney Wilson architects before they formed a partnership) though no name can be found.
