a raised platform B, while pedestrians will use the steps G C. In the tower, 

 we have a vestibule, with coat-closets D D. The chamber E, Plan 1st, being 

 thrown into one, with the stairway, and the first flight of stairs turned round, gives 

 a fine entrance hall, with columns at F F. 

 A bay window being added, makes the 

 library G a pleasant one; the drawing-room 



PLAN 3 



is improved by a recessed dou- 

 ble window, and verandas, J J, 

 added. The dining-room, K, 

 is made IT X 24 feet, by throw- 

 ing out a square bay window 

 L, with glass on two sides, and 

 doors next the back building. 

 In the new back building M, 

 is a double china closet, with a 

 slide for the leaves of the ex- 

 tension dining-table iV, a 4 

 feet wide passage, in which is 

 a basin and a side-table ; G, 

 pantry, 6x6; P, kitchen, 16 

 X 19, clear, with two closets, 

 dressers, and sink ; R, back- 

 kitchen, with wash-boiler, and floor-sink ; S, back-stairs ; T, man's stairs. 



In the second story, Plan 3, A, B, and G, are old chambers, left undisturbed ; 

 D, a pleasant hall, opening on balcony ; F F F, balconies ; F, tower chamber, 

 12 X 16 ; G, bath-room; If, nursery ; /, closet, 6x5 feet; L, bedroom; M, nur- 

 sery bath-room ; N, back-stairs (not continued) ; G, man's stairs (continued). The 

 attics contain, in the back building, a man's room, and a drying-room, with a 

 cistern ; in the main, the old attics, much enlarged by the partial raising of the 

 roof; in the tower is a cistern for spring water, to be raised by a power pump, over 

 which is the observatory, with balconies on the sides, and an iron rail on the top. 

 The old walls being of stone, of a good color, the new walls will be built to 

 match ; the cornices, window-dressings, and veranda will be executed in oak, 

 without paint, and oiled. The style is the pure Italian rural. The cost of a 

 similar building, entirely new, would vary from $6,000 to $8,000, according to the 

 degree of finish. R. MORRIS SMITH, Architect,
