colored pressed brick, with Medina stone trimming. The basement is 

 11 ft. clear, the concrete floor being at grade in the rear, with doors 

 into each wing and into the main building from the court. There are 

 2 elevators for the delivery of supplies and the handling of the dairy 

 products, one in front to the first story, and one in the rear to both 

 first and second stories. The roof is of slate, with galvanized iron 

 cornices, and is so shaped that the attic rooms are large and high. 

 Abundance of light is given these rooms through double dormer win- 

 dows at the sides, a round window in front, and a skylight above. 



The interior of the building is finished in quartered oak; hard plaster 

 is used throughout; and the floors are of Southern pine except in the 

 vaults and 4 dairy rooms, where vitrified tile is used.

The building is heated by steam from two .">() horsepower boilers, the 

 radiators in each room being controlled by automatic valves connected 

 with thermostats and operated by compressed air by the Johnson sys- 

 tem. Steam from the boilers, compressed air aud hot water from the 

 compressor and heater (both also in the basement), and cold water and 

 gas from the city system are supplied at the laboratory tables and other 

 convenient points. Constant pressure upon the water system is main- 

 tained by connection with a 1,000-gallon tank in the attic.
