II was originally intended to have this arch as
gateway the Park, but it found that this would
necessltate span Of seventy feet and in order to
make wepropOrtloned arch the structure wouA
have TO be much increased in size that the amount
appropriate for Il would not suffice. John Duncan,
the architect also argued that the arch, being
ment, should stand alone in the plaza. This was
finally agreed to and the arch will stand when com.
pleted on a line with the main entrance TO the park.
1t would seem that in order TO make the design COM
plete, something should be placed on either side OF
the wide park entrance on the line Of the arch.

is the arch of scptlmus in Rome. 1t is Of

them and break his shins in the dark

congratulated himself that at last he

only possessed II habitation, IL place of

Indian when not engaged in cunning
for the white settler abideS in his
tepee.
Yet printed plans and diagrams of
cheap and comfortable houses, uniting
artistic beauty and convenience in the
best manner Of home architecture.
everywhere abounded.
These plans We're to be found in our
builders offices, ON the counters of the
book dealer, within innumerable
magazines and specifications, from the
cost of digging the cellar to the price
of CRATE and mantel in the completed

In 1850 Homecoming had little over 5000
