grated top, to permit the escape of heated air. # 
[Fig. 74. Villa at Brooklyn, N. Y., with the Conservatory attached.] 
One of the most beautiful conservatories attached to 
the dwelling, to which we can refer our readers, for an 
example, is one built by J. W. Perry, Esq., Brooklyn, near 
New York (Fig. 74), forming the left wing of this elegant 
villa. Among the most magnificent detached conserva- 
tories are those of J. P. Cushing, Esq., at his elegant seat, 
Belmont Place , Watertown, near Boston; and that at 
Montgomery Place, the seat of Mrs. Edward Livingston, 
on the Hudson, Fig. 73. 
A conservatory is frequently made an addition to a 
rectangular Grecian villa, as one of its wings — the other 
being a living or bed-room. The more varied and 
irregular outline of Gothic buildings enables them to 
receive an appendage of this nature with more facility 
in almost any direction, where the aspect is suitable. 
* The circulation of warm air is greatly accelerated when an opening 
through the outer air is permitted to enter the hot air passage, thus becoming 
heated and passing into the conservatory.
