DESIGN FOR A MEMORIAL RECEIVING VAULT. 
DESIGN FOR A MEMORIAL RECEIVING VAULT. 
The above illustrations show a Memorial Re- 
ceiving Vault designed expressly for this journal 
by Mr. A. Fehmer, Hartford, Conn. 
Its details are all on the most approved mod- 
ern lines, very careful attention being paid to 
drainage and ventilation, two features of radical im- 
portance in vault construction. 
The specifications call for a stone foundation, 
and the superstructure to be of brick faced with* 
granite or marble, all laid up in cement mortar. 
The floor will be of concrete and the shelves and. 
partitions of slate. 
It will be observed that four ventilators areTro— 
vided in the arch, two on each side, and the win- 
dow in the door is hung on pivots. 
The design can be carried -out in'the" Eastern, 
states for about $4,500.
