In Heneman’s 1774-1775 and Kanne’s 1779 project plans for Borselen Island and the east bank of the Demerara River, both engineers not only produced maps and ground plans but also architectural designs for the projected new buildings.

VEL1564.26 through VEL1564.30 all show this same 'plan XI'. The same arrangement of buildings is also to be found on the overview map VEL1561.

This is a copy made on 27 July 1775.
