In Fig. [226] is a yet further variation of the treatment of the hall. It is no longer in the centre of the building, but becomes an ordinary thoroughfare room in one corner. The front entrance leads into a corridor, and immediately opposite to it is the great staircase. This is an entirely novel treatment, and indicates a complete revolution in the planning of houses. The hall is no longer the central feature, but gives place to the staircase. For the rest, the old apartments remain; there is the buttery lying between the staircase and the hall, inconveniently mixed up with the family rooms, equally inconveniently cut off from the kitchens. The dining parlour lies beyond the hall and far away from the kitchen, and the kitchen is approached through the "survaying place," and attached to it is a new room, the "scullery." So far as the main lines go, the house is simple and dignified, but the plan is neither so striking nor so convenient as those of the old type.
