Transverse section.
rooms, divided one from the other by curtains hanging on a glazed screen; the length of the two rooms is 42 feet, their breadth 15 feet. They are decorated gaily in French style; the room c can be used as a study, but it is intended for a sleeping room; the kitchen f has a large larder h, but it would be desirable if the kitchen was formed a short distance away from the building, and connected with it by a passage; the rooms f and g could then be made into a bed and dressing-room. The wine cellar is at g, and a conservatory i, is placed at the end of the building.
Plan of one-pair.
The elevation of the front of the building and the two sections show the general construction of the upper part of the house. This was in timber, the flues alone being of brick.
The plan of the upper floor shows four rooms; each of the flues is supplied with its pedestal, so that should the house be occupied in winter, these upper apartments could be kept well aired by the fires in the lower apartments, without any attention from the servants. The framing of the upper portion is correctly shown in the section copied from the working drawing.
Portion of verandah.
All elevation of a small portion of the verandah, showing its iron work, is given; and an illustration to a large scale shows its ornamental zinc guttering, and the carved wood French ornament, a section showing how they are fastened on; and the zinc gutter placed in front is likewise given.
