DEER PARK, w. Va, June 29.-At the
west end of the fine yard on which the Deer
Park Hotel stands will be seen the new
cottage of John W. Garrett, President OF
the B. & O. r. R. Company. 1t is is beyond
doubt the handsomest and best constructed
building to be seen in the grounds of this
great summer resort. The structure is two
full stories with an attic story, making it
three stories high. A pigment roof covers
the building and fifteen angles appear
on the surface of the walls. A broad
portico extends two-thirds the way around,
so that ample shade will be afforded during
all hours OF the day. To-day your cores.
pondent, accompanied by A. f. Burkhardt
of Cincinnati, visited the cottage, and, con-
Quoted by Mr.. A. Smell, the builder, in
spected the cottage. Beginning at the
kitchen, let me describe, in an imperfect
way, the different rooms.
The culinary department consists OF a
kitchen, pantry, and other appliances
usually found in a we'll filled department
of this kind. The range we saw was very
small one: This is explained by the fact
that it is intended to only heat water for
the bath rooms, the inmates intending to
dine at the hotel building. We next pass
ed into a well lighted room of angular
shape, which we were informed was in
tended for the Presidents office. The
room is at the west end of the cottage, and
from its windows can be seen beautiful
western landscape. The wallso OF this room,
as of the entire building, are finished in
white lime. The window sashes and doors are
made of walnut, while the frames are made
of yellow pine. The wood work will be
finished in white shellac, leaving the
grain of the wood plainly visible: This
room is ventilated by hearth, which is
furnished with a highly polished open
CRATE, etc. We next passed into the hall.
parlor or reception room. This room is
reached from the front porch steps, being
in the front of the building. 1t is furnish
ed as the one just described, but has in adj
dition at the west side space devoted to
flowers, q sort of bay window giving suih'
cient light for such purposes.
The parlor proper, the next room enter;
ed, is in the front part of the building ana
is of ample size. and well lighted. Inc
windows face the extended landscape I'M
mediately in front of the grounds offering
to the eve as fair view as can be desired
The library is an attractive room III the
east part of the cottage. 1t is OF good SIZE,
retired and Just such a room as a student
would wish to spend hours in in companion
ship with his books. Adjoining this is a
chamber the on.y one on the
first floor. Passing up the stairs
to the second floor we notice
that the rail and ballasters are made OF
ash, while the remainder OF the work is
made OF yellow pine.
on the second floor there are three cham
bers, such as we visited on the first floor.
These we will pass by, simply men
tioning them, and hasten to look
at the more attractive rooms. on
this floor. Mrs. CARROTS room is in the
front part of the building over the hall par
lor-it is ample, modest, and commands
the Landscape view already referred to in
this article. Adjoining and connected
with this room by means of a hall clothes
press is the chamber OF Miss Mary Garrett
The chief feature OF this room
is the abundance of light that
enters the room through the four windows
standing side by side in the south and west
angles of the apartment. The arrangement
of the windows gives an easy command oil
both the front landscape and the wilder
scenes toward the west. Miss Mary has
certainly chosen fine room for her apart
ment,
Th&other rooms to which we nextpass are
models OF beauty and convenience. Pres'
ident CARROTS bath room, which was de-
signed aud constructed for his special use,
we will first look in upon. The room is IN
the rear OF the building. The room, asiae
from the window sash, frame and walls,
which have been already described, is fin
ished in ash and trimmed in cherry. The
bath tub is larger than that article is usual
ly made, so as to render the bath of the in
dividual, for whom it was constructed
easy and efiectual. Besides this, other
modern appliances common to this depart
ment are handy. The ladies' bath room
which adjoins this, is finished in the same
style, and is supplied with all modern con-
venjences.
On the third. or attic floor, are four very
neat rooms, intended for servants. The
pine used in the entire building is thor
odghly seasoned, it having been used Tor
eight years for bridge cord. Electric bells
run through the cottage, which Will DE

The workmanship OF the building reflects
great credit upon Mr.. Smell, the boss
builder of the Grafton division OF the 3. &
0. road and his efficient workmen.
A. c. Burkhardt, of Cincinnati, Ohio ar
rived here last evening. Mr.. B. is looking
for place to spend the summer with his
family. He is very much pleased with
Deer Park, and tomorrow will visit Oak
land. Should he conclude to come he will
bring fifteen others with him.
