Contractors renovating National Gallery wing find 1990 letter from donor praising removal of false columns

Indeed. I rarely agree with Charles’ views on architecture, but in this case he was absolutely correct. It wouldn’t have fit with the rest of the square either, which the final design definitely does. There are certainly places where that design would have worked and worked well; as an extension to the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square, not really.
