used to convey clothes from tbe laundry to the drying-room. Upon the other sido 

 of the hall is the drawing-room, No. C, which is, exclusive of the pixyecting window, 

 twt'iitv-soven feet by twenty, and the projecting window ten Ly six. 



Next to this room is a small salon ur vestibule, No. 7, from which a French window 

 opens upon tbe side veranda, and which also connects with the family sitting-room or 

 parlor, No. 8. This latter room is seventeen feet square, and is so situated as to be the 

 pleasantest apartment upon this floor. A wide veranda stretches on two of its sides, 

 and connecting with it are large closets for family use. 



Sliding doors open upon one side into the vestibule, No. 9, at tbe end of the princi- 

 ]»al hall, which terminates in double doors leading to tbe veranda.- 



Next to this end of the ball is the dining-room, No. 10, which is twenty-four by 

 eighteen, having in its long side a projecting window, which is sujijiorted upon 

 lirackets from below, and overhangs tbe deep stone wall that tbe slope of tbe ground 

 renders necessary. Immediately under this room is the kitchen, and tbe projection 

 of this bay window serves as a canopy to its windows. 



In the rear of tbe dining-room is a private hall, No. 11, in which are a flight of 

 stairs to tbe floor below, a servants' stairway to tbe chambers, a large china-closet, and 

 a dumb-waiter for transmission of dishes from below. Tbe smallness of the scale ren- 

 ders these portions somewhat minute, but they are all of ample size and convenient 

 arrangement. 



From this ball an entry leads to a summer-kitchen, No. 12, which is fifteen by nine- 

 teen, and so placed as, tbouj^h, suflicieutly removed from tbe main building to prevent 

 boat or odor penetrating tbe interior, is conveniently near for iise. 



On tbe other side of tbe private ball are a large paiitr}- and store-room, No. 13, a 

 b.bby conducting to the main hall, and a sleejiing-room of large size, No. 14, either for 

 use of a man-servant or of a member of tbe family. 



Tbe extent of tbe front of this building, exclusive of tbe projection containing sum- 

 mer-kitchen, is sixty-six feet, and its greatest depth, from front line to end of dining- 

 ntom, is sixty-nine feet two inches. 



Tbe spacious verandas that fill \ip tbe outlines of tbe plan, so as to make tbem nearly 

 a square, are of great value. From that surroimding the two sides in the rear the 

 most lovely view that can be conceived is enjoyable ; and, as tbe level of tbe ground 

 falls away so rapidly, it is on tbe rear greatly above tbe surface, and descent to tbe 

 terrace and gardens below is by a flight of broad steps. Beneath these rear verandas 

 a screen protects tbe offices from sight, and upon this side a conservatory is formed, 

 with glass in front and at tbe end. 



Tbe space below is occupied by a large kitchen under tbe dining-room provided with 

 a range and boiler, an old-fashioned bnck oven, and a large open fire-place for roasting. 

 There is also a laundry beneath tbe family parlor, and, in tbe rear of that, a bathing- 

 room for tbe use of the servants. Spacious provision is made for tbe furnace, wbicli is 

 below tbe vestibule. No. Y, and the rest of tbe space is filled with store-rooms, cellars, 

 milk-room, larder, (fee; all carefully arranged and of liberal size. Below tbe summer- 

 kitchen is tbe coal-cellar; and, under the entry that leads to it, space is left for a 

 retired inclosure containing a water-closet for the servants.
