Down in the lower right corner of the illustration of the Quinlan Terry design is a building labeled "The New Infirmary." It is not part of the Chelsea Barracks site, which is across the street, but a part of the royal hospital by Wren that was added to by Terry in 2005. Indeed, it is the very same project that Richard Rogers attempted to block in 2005, as mentioned in "Donnybrook at Chelsea Barracks." Thankfully, Sir Richard's attempt was unsuccessful.

Some other interesting images follow.

Who is this Richard Rodgers? I thought that was who did the musical score for Victory at Sea!
