The plan of the upper story (page 323) gives a smoking room a, with an open terrace c c, front and back, a closet d, and a cistern room b.
Section of window sill and iron balconet.
The basement plan (page 324) shows the cold bath in the centre, with its staircase; the kitchen b, the scullery g, h h the larders, c is the lift, and d d are men’s sleeping rooms; the servants’ hall t, and housekeeper’s room j, are on the left, q is the wine cellar, and s the beer cellar.
The elevation of the back front is at page 325; it has a circular portico and steps down to the garden. An attempt has been made to introduce an original termination for the pedestals on the attics, instead of using the almost universal Soanic bulbous ornament so repeatedly seen in nearly every public building in
London and the country, and of which the author’s late master, Sir John Soane, was so fond. These attempts are given in the figures pp. 326-328; and an attempt is made to give an ornamental chimney-pot on page 330. It will be seen in the figure that the ornamental cement pot or vase contains an iron, or it might be a zinc, lining; this would be kept warm, and a security for the smoke passing out.
The exterior of the building is ornamented with statues and vases, and the windows have iron balconets.
The last remaining illustration to be given is the arcade on each side of the villa, dividing the front and back gardens. The chief portion of this in stone, with statues between the columns and vases over them; at the back of the columns is another front of ornamental trellis work in wood, with scroll stands for flowers—this is supported or upheld by the stone screen; an elevation of each, with a section, is given at page 334.
The vignette gives French and English patterns for cover to external sunblinds.
