 1868.] Details of Entrance Doors for Double Houses. 373 under the controlling influence of archi- tectural art, can be constructed, if not for less, at least for the same cost, that is incurred in the erection of those strange incongruities, with which igno- rant effort has so marred the appear- ance of the country. The first design is for a Country Church, of the more expensive class. It is cruciform, with a Vestry Room at- tached to the Sanctuary. A is the Porch ; B, Hall ; C C, Aisles ; DDDD, Tran- septs; E, the Organist's Seat ; F, Chan- cel ; G, the Communion Table ; H, the Sanctuary ; I, Vestry Room. The Elevation is attractive. The situa- tion of the open porch, with the buttress- belfry rising behind it, and flanking the church, gives an advantageous display of the Gable end, with its triplet window. The projecting Transept is a desirable featu re. The material should be rubble ma- sonry, with trimmings of chiseled or punched stone of a lighter tint. The Roof should be of slate, laid in orna- mental courses. The Second Design is for a Country Church, of less capacity. A, is the Torch ;BBB, Aisles ; C, the'Chancel; D, the Sanctuary ; E, tire Vestry. The Elevation is unique. The open belfry supported, on either side, by sad- dled buttresses rising from the Barge*- course ; the Porch with its graceful finial terminating in an iron cross ; and the Church itself — with its dwarf buttresses and deep water tables — all go to present a design of simple, yet impressive ap- pearance, which, executed in rough- hammered stone, with chiseled facings, cannot fail of giving satisfaction. The monotonous appearance of the roof is avoided by the introduction of sharp, angular dormers, which will, however, be used only as ventilators on the inside. Both of these Churches can be made to suit the services of any denomination. PRACTICAL CARPENTRY & JOINERY. DETAILS OF ENTRANCE DOORS FOR DOUBLE HOUSES. THIS plate exhibits the doors of the foregoing Tudor-Gothic Double Dwellings, drawn to a large scale, such as should accompany all working draw- ings made to full size ; and which might be termed a working scale. The First Figure shows the construc- tion of all the parts ; and the Second displays the principal features, full size ; from which workmen make all their moulds, for the execution of the respect- ive parts. The scale drawing explains the manner of connecting all those parts. The Door-Piece is constructed of stone, as described in the Specification. The shafts or piers are octagon, and in one stone each, with base, cap, cornice, and balustrade, together with crocheted pinnacles. The steps are seven and a- half inches rise, by fourteen inches wide, with moulded nosings. The side but- tresses are to be capped and weathered, as indicated. The Platform is of good width, and the Door-Sill sunk in the frame, of the same form with the jambs, in order to make a deep recess for the door. The side jambs and head are paneled and moulded. The Door-frame is made of scantling and of walnut. We new come to the subject of the
