A FINE VILLA. time to time we

A FINE VILLA.-FrOm time to time we
have given descriptions of the mansions erect
: ed by our citizens, as indicative of the grow
ing wealth of our community, and the adj
vancement of taste, culture aud refinement.
The elegant villa of Capt. Peter Berkey, now
, almost completed, deserves mention, as one
combining IN Its style and proportions, home
comfort (too little thought of often) with much
architectural beauty.
1t is situated on the north side of College
Avenue, on commanding ridge just suited for
such residence, and faces the east An ele-
giant view of almost the entire city, the hills
surrounding it, and the valley of the river for
miles. can be had from the upper rooms
The villa itself is built of that elegant mate
rial that is too little used and appreciated hcle
blue lime stOne-neatly dressed. The build
ing is four stories in height, really-a spacious
basement underlying all the building, with a
cellar and clstern under the L in the rear. The
ground floor, reached by flight of steps and
veranda in front, is divided into spacious par
lors and citing rooms by central hall. From
this hall stairs conduct to the second floor,
which is divided into several large, high and
airy bed chambers, opening into a common
hall. From this hall q stair case ascends to the
third story, which has several smaller, but still
quite commodious chambers. All the cham
bers have full complement of closets, &c.
The L is only one story, and contains large
kitchen. All the apartments are arranged in a
very convenient manner, so as to produce an
amount of room but seldom contained in res
idence Of similar proportions. The entire
house, and all its details, are constructed in
thorough, solid, and careful manner.
All the foreign and fantastic styles of archi-
lecture so common now have been discarded in
this mansion. 1t is the plain but still tasteful
and elegant s. American Style" But nothing
can excel its purity OF tone and neatness of
proportion.
The Villa is to cost, when completed, about
$4,000 we believe-a reasonable sum for
home of such careful interior finish and elabo-
ration of detail as is intended to be expended
on the interior. Messrs. Leonard g. Sheire
are the Architects, and have added another
star specimen to their already long list. Mr..
Sheire's pencil has given our city number of
fine villas. We hope to note, year by year, a
still greater demand on it for plans and specif-
cations of mansions, until our suburban hills
are clustered with elegant villas.
