LODGES.
The walls of the buildings are best scarlet pressed bricks with white tuck joints; the wood framing is stained brown-black and well varnished; the windows finished white; cement filling, flat cream white; and Broseley strawberry tiles for roof. The buildings are situated in the center of a plantation, and the combination of color is most satisfactory. They are built at the principal entrance to Portington Grange, Eastrington, near Hull, and belong to Thomas Brearley, Esq., J.P. The works have been carried out under the direction of Mr. Walter Hanstock, architect, Batley.—Building News.
