In a letter in James Dunn's Deceased Member File from his son Herbert G. Dunn to the RSA dated 1930-12-15 the architect's domestic designs are referred to "There are one or two very good drawings of/ small country houses which I think were generally/ reckoned to be his best work..." A similar sounding piece to the Diploma Work was exhibited at the RSA in 1930 catalogue number 573 "House near Elgin - north & south fronts."

Although James Dunn was the architect of the piece, the drawings were executed by the archiect and draughtsman, Thomas Raffles Davidson (1853-1937). He also produced Hippolyte J. Blanc's RSA Diploma Work "Thomas Coats Memorial Church, Paisley".
