feet on the other three sides. These rooms and hallway have 
a twelve-foot ceiling. The outer and inner walls, the ceiling, 
and the first or inner roof are all of six-inch tongue and groove 
redwood ceiling. Three feet above this inner roof of ceiling B 
is the outside roof of shakes A, connected with the inner roof 
only by its braces, and extending to within eight feet of the 
ground, where it is supported by four-inch posts and forms a 
ten-foot porch H on the north and south sides. It is simply a 
big sun umbrella shading the real building and allowing a free 
circulation of air about it. A double row of eucalyptus trees 
shades the eastern end, and a lean-to roof forming a ten-foot 
porch answers the same purpose on the west. 
Lemon House of Mr. A. S. Gaylord, at Cucamonga, Cal. 
The building extends from east to west in its greatest 
length, being so placed in order to receive the full sweep of the 
westerly winds between the sun and inner roofs. The loft C, 
between the ceiling and inner roof, is ventilated by eight open- 
ings 4x4 feet, D, one in each end and three on each side, directly 
opposite each other, those on the sides appearing on the outer 
roof as gables or dormer windows, with air chutes extending 
back into the loft. These openings are kept closed during the 
heat of the day by means of a pair of closelv-fitting doors, and 
opened about sunset, permitting a free circulation of the cool 
night air through the loft. Each of the inner rooms F is con- 
nected with the-outer air by flumes J, 6x8 inches, running from 
each floor corner of each room, under the hallway to the out- 
side of the building; also by eight-inch pipes from the centers 
of the ceilings, extending through the roofs and terminating in
