COUNTRY RESIDENCE COSTING $4,750.
On the next page is a perspective view of a residence built for Dr. B. Clark, of Washington, Pa., from special designs made by me in 1876. The style and general arrangements are similar to the one built for Dr. McClure, last described, with the addition of a side extension or office, and the completion of rooms in the basement for laundry purposes, and a laboratory. This Building is substantially constructed, and tastefully finished throughout. The hight of the ceilings in the first story are 12 feet, in the second 10 feet, and for the basement 8 feet. It has two heaters, four open grates, a range, complete apparatus in bath rooms, and distributing pipes for cold and hot water. The principal rooms are frescoed, all others are kalsomined. A Reservoir constructed in the rear part of the cellar, and provided with running spring water, is arranged as a receptacle for milk cans, and supplies the Fountain shown in the front lawn (this fountain, owing to the sloping surface of the grounds, is several feet below the foundations of the house).... Dr. Clark moved into his new house during the first week in February last, and writes with reference to it, that “all in all it is the most tasteful in outside appearance, convenient, and economically constructed building in this section, and attracts a great deal of attention.”
