Our Foreign Exchanges 
Plan of Fire Brigade Station 
AIDE STATION, VAUXHALL, LONDON

OUR FOREIGN EXCHANGES 
ONDON practice in the designing of fire 
stations, as shown in the above example, 
does not differ radically in any 
material respect from our own. 
There is rather more of a do¬ 
mestic air in the facade than we 
usually deem appropriate, and 
the plan is evidently not quite 
so well arranged for an instan¬ 
taneous response to an alarm, 
but other differences are not 
noticeable. 
The interior view of St. 
Matthew’s is a very good ex¬ 
ample of the sort of Gothic 
much favored in England at 
present for parish churches. 
It has the merit, for buildings 
of moderate size, of producing 
a fine and thoroughly churchly 
effect at moderate cost, though 
capable of any amount of 
elaboration that the parish 
exchequer may warrant. 
Phyllis Court is an interest¬ 
ing example of a house well 
placed in a difficult position. 
The property is really a back 
lot, and its only frontage on 
the highway is the road of 
approach. The grade ascends 
rapidly so that the house quite 
overlooks the roofs of the 
houses fronting on the road 
below. The materials are red 
sand-faced brick and tile roof. 
I he splendid memorial to 
Queen Victoria, at Calcutta, is well be¬ 
gun. Our illustration is from a model 
prepared by the architect to be sent to 
India as an additional interpretation of 
the working drawings. This model has 
built up in such a way that sectional 
of the structure may be had by the 
removal of the outer portions of the design.
