EDITORS CHRONICLE LE"-Gentlemen
Your short editorial under head of 90 Plan
for County Buildings" l doubt not has
excited some curiosity among the citizens
Of Union to see the Court Houses at Cam
den and Towanda l confess | was curl
Gus enough to pay Camden a visit for that
purpose, also 70 get, if possible, prospec-
tive view to send you, but there is none
extant save the original. | am not suffi-
ciently familiar with the technical terms
in architecture to give an intelligent de-
scription; otherwise, | would describe it
in detail will say, however, that you
may congratulate yourselves on the liber-
ality and good taste of your committee if
such . house as that at Camden is coutem-
plated by them to be put up in Lewisburg.
The building is fine and imposing one,
and the interior arrangement neat and
complete. While am awarding this gen.
eral praise, will, at the risk of being
thought dctatorial, give for what they may
be worth such ideas as suggested them
selves to my mind while looking at the
building. The columns thought not
heavy enough, and their copings not strict
ly in keeping with the general style. The
projection of the caves l thought little
too shallow. The outside mastic or rough
casting | think spoils any building. l
have never known it to be durable, and it
casts a very shabby appearance in very
short time Good pressed brick, painted
drab or tea color, is to my mind the most
durable, and handsomer in appearance
than any other building material save
white marble or light brown stone.
In prison arrangement l must agree
with you. can not think it humane to
con6ne any erring, (and how often inno-
cent y unfortunate mortal in basement,
no matter how well ventilated Should
your committee, however, determine to
adopt this plan, think they would be
gra,i6ed and repaid for their trouble if
they would procure pan Of the Court
House at Chicago, than which l doubt
whether handsomer can be found any
where; it has prison in basement. The
plan Of it is universally admired, aud its
cost could be brought within your limit, if
am rightly informed, as to the amount
of your subscription. G.
