The residence of Major A G. Morrill,,
the most attractive and expensive adai-
tionEto dwellings, of Little Falls, was
built last summer by Messrr.A A. D. Har-
risen Il Cox; from plans 81 Mr.. John B.
Hutchings. The excellence of design
has attracted much attention, the eleva-
tons being extremely pleasing and har-
monious and the interior plans we'll ar
ranged and convenient. The exterior
has many attractive features. though not
excessively elaborate. A handsome
piazza extends across the entire front
and around the octagonaI projection.
This projection runs up two and enc
half stories and rises inton graceful and
slightly tower, andis the main architec
tural feature of the building. Tho first
and second stories are boarded
and the tower, gables and, roof are
shingled. The painting Of tho exterior
is very pretty. The main hall contains
handsome rcd brick open; fire. place
and is very large. It lis separated from
the parlor, diniug-room and back halI
by sliding doors Of massive oak. Tho
hoor, staircase and all wood work is
also Of natural oak. The spacious parlor.

Of natural birch, the woodwork being
very elegant. The dining-roomis in oak,
and the Kitchen (large and roomy) is
wainscoated with narrow matched oak;
the buffers pantry and china closet are
admirably arranged, and are convenient
and well-lighted. There are three large
bedrooms on the second floor and all
are bright, attractive and furnished with
ample closets. The xttic:shas two large
rooms. All the principal rooms have
open dre-places with neatly laid tile:
mantels. Both Major Morrill, and Mr..
Hutchings have in this building some
thing to be proud ot,5and we trust that
It is but the sforerunner of many resi-
dences and buildings which, combine
intrinsic valueswith grace and architec.
tural merit. f#4 q
