The Palace and Park by Phillips, Forbes, Latham, Owen, Scharf, and Shenton

3. HOUSE OF QUEEN CAROLINE (1813), now called that of Adonis, remarkable

for the width of Atrium when viewed from vestibule. The kitchen has windows opening to the street. In an open court is a permanent semicircular couch of stone, the _sigma_ of Martial, and so called from the shape that the Greek letter had at this period acquired. (See notice on the changes in the Greek alphabet, in the Catalogue of Greek Court, p. 22). In the Atrium, plants were painted on the wall, as if sprung up out of the ground. A celebrated caricature painting of the studio of a portrait painter was discovered by Mazois in this house.
