| dc.description | Side view along the elevation; On 1 July 1828 Barry submitted an innovative Italianate scheme for a select competition for the Travellers' Club, Pall Mall, London. He feared that its astylar façade looked too flat and insipid in the drawings, although he and Wolfe were confident that the design would please if realized. On its completion in 1832, this quintessential example of his reintroduction of the palazzo style brought Barry dramatically to public notice; he added the smoking tower in 1843. The simplicity, which is the outstanding characteristic of the design, was due to Wolfe's influence, as Barry was not naturally so restrained.
