Next to the dresser are two large sinks, three feet and a half long, two and a half wide, and one foot and a half deep, with two taps for hot and cold water.
Against the window, and close to the sink, is a thick scouring table, three feet by two, with a box underneath for sand, &c.
On the right is the steam boiler, eight feet three inches long, six feet wide, and five feet high, surrounded with bricks, and by which large closets, bains maries, plates for delivery-windows and tables, are heated, large coppers supplied with steam for cooking; also dressing-rooms, baths, and closets in various parts of the house.
The appearance of these three rooms, each for a different purpose, forms, as it were, only one room, well lighted, very cool, extremely convenient, and without the least confusion.
(N.) Butler’s Pantry. A large room, twenty-four feet long and seventeen wide, including private room, with a fire-place, cupboards, sink, and plenty of water; a large table is in the middle, where everything belonging to his department is prepared.
(O.) Butler’s Office. Well fitted up, and very convenient from its proximity to the pantry and plate closet.
(P.) Iron closet for plate, fire-proof.
(Q.) A large passage leading out, and also to the back staircase, to the coffee-room.
