THE RORY O'MORE KENNEL. 



J HAVE lately had an opportunity of visiting the Holy 

 O'M Ore kennel, Situated on Riverside avenue, in Greeii- 

 bnsh, New York, oil the east bank of rli ^ Hudson river, oppo- 

 i :- ted on 1 lid Mansion" 



grounds, well known as a place of considerable historical no- 

 toriety, ou account of its age (having been built in 1642) and 



now the property of Mr. Win. is'. doUender, the founder of 



the Rory O'iUore Kouuch The old mansion is said to contain 

 thirty-five rooms, mid is still in an e.wellcul stale of preserva- 

 tion. All of the bl'ick used in its con-truetion were imported 

 from Holland, as also were the heavy white oak timbers, 

 some of which are twenty inches square, and run the entire 

 length of the main building in the cellar. 



The kennel building, which occupies the rea r of the grounds, 

 is of the Queen Anne style of architecture and decoration, 

 and is about Thirty-live by forty feet in extent, the main 

 floor, elevate. i about three feet from theground, giving excel- 

 lent ventilatio I h i is I iosi important. A hallway in
