 240 Sloan's Architectural Review and Builders' 1 Journal. [October, ber, A, over the vestibule ; stair-hall, B ; four chambers, C C C C, and a store- room, D ; bath-room, E, and wardrobe closets, as indicated. The attic, which is a fall story, will contain the same number of chambers, store-room, and servants' bath-room. The bay-windows are all carried up through two stories, forming alcoves to the rooms on the second story, cor- responding with those on the first- story. The vestibule is caiTied up, and forms a tower, with an oriel window projecting from the third story. The upper section of the tower is curved, and covered with slate, varied in form, which should also be variegated in color. As will be perceived, this design has all the leading features characteristic of the style portrayed and adapted, as far as has been deemed practicable, to our modern requirements and our more re- fined habits of life. Our endeavor has been to combine modern arrangements with elegance ; and to present to our readers a design for a structure, which not only possesses a striking and im- posing external appearance, but which, in the internal disposition of rooms, will be found to provide for all the requisite comforts and conveniences of a family of ample means. A building erected in accordance with this plan and design, and fully carried out in all its details, will cost from twenty-five to thirty thousand dollars, ($25,000 to $30,000.)
