WHITEHALL.

The history Of the dwelling houses can
be well authenticated, while the origin
Of .sThe Old Mill" is shrouded in mys-
terry. Yet the similarity in the construc-
tive features is remarkable.
y Whitehall may be said to represent the
second period of colonial architecture.
These buildings ale of frame construc-
ton and are covered with thick clap
boards put on with wrought iron nails
and rooted with split shingles. In build
ings of this type brick began to take the
place of stone for chimneys, and the gam
bril- roof became prominent feature. 1t
continued in favor for 100 years or more
and gradually developed into well pro
portioned architectural feature, with
richly nodded cornices and well de-
signed dormer windows, as shown in the
IBanister house.
This type of roof had some advantages.
The framing was strong, and the attic
rooms thus obtained were useful. The
window frames were made of plank,
with caps and stills often nodded and a
bead run around the inner edges of the
frame, The sashes were very heavy,
wrought by hand. The gambril roof
WAS modified into a hipped roof in the
latter half of the century and seemed to
form connecting link between the UNI
der structures Of the nth century and the
well designed and comfortable mansions
built by the wealthy merchants OF later
day.
The third period Of colonial architect
Are commenced about 1870, when the
growing commercial importance Of the
seaport towns and the rapid accumula
tion of wealth induced more lavish and
Elegant style of living. Curious and
beautiful are the interiors OF many Of
these old houses. and it is not strange
that the cultivated taste of today takes
ielight in copying many Of their details

.orner cupboards, spiral banisters an{

we're simple, but the architectural de
ills and ornamentation were very ricl
nd marked with great delicacy Of treat

proportions Of q classic order. For ca
ample, it is no uncommon thing to find
chambers with doors and windows placed
in the center of the room, leaving no
place for the furniture without closing up
either window or door. The freplaces
were usually surrounded with tiles held
in place by brass frames. The window
sash was still made by hand, but was
lighter and was glazed with glass of a
better quality and of larger dimensions
During this period the entrance doors
became the principal architectural fea-
Eure. They were usually carved and
nodded, with the pilasters surmounted
by Corinthian or Ionic capitals, and the
pediment wrought with wealth Of Pal
padian details, and fanlights carved into
quaint and fantastic interlacings.
No colonial work is more easily recog-
hized than that of Maryland and Vir-
ginia Circumstances and taste com
bined to make the life and pursuits Of
the southerner wholly unlike those of
the colonist of the north. Springing
from the same stock, his ambitions were
realized in the free and happy atmos-
phere where he had founded his new
home, and just as his Puritan brother
carried simplicity and frugality to the
( extreme in everything he sought to make
his colony the ideal of comfort and lux
ury. That stamp Of refinement SO pleas
ing to us of the present day was bor-
rowed from England, and the southern
er's tendency was therefore to make his
home and surroundings as secluded as
possible. N sa#s
( The Carroll house, Annapolis, repre-
sents a good type Of the colonial house
during the third period The University
of Virginia is a good type of public
edifice Of the times. The latter was de-
signed by Thomas Jefferson, who was a
remarkable critic as well as student
of architecture. The erection of this
building was commenced in 1918.
Among other notable examples may be
mentioned the Scott house, Ogle house,
Ridout house and Chase house in Anna
polls, in which city the first statehouse
was erected in 1896, the second in 1905
and the present building from a design
by pupil Of Sir Christopher Wren in
1772.
One may imagine what difficulties
must have beset the architect and build
or in colonial times. The only lumber

us splendid models, distinguished for
dignity, simplicity and economy of de-
tails Each colony had its own peculiar
type of building.
1t is not difficult to classify the work,
as the plans, materials and general APP
bearance of building indicate at once
to what part Of the country it belongs.
Thus the New Highlander preferred to
build of wood, while the inhabitants of
New York and Pennsylvania confined
themselves to stone, and the southerner,
with materials of all kinds at hand, chose
to build of brick.
Colonial architecture may be divided
into three periods-the first period dat
ing from about 1880 to 100; the second
from 1900. to 1870, and the third. from
1870 to 1885,
The domestic edifces Of the "a first
period exhibit in nearly every instance
Btone chimneys and gable ends. The
bides of the buildings and the ends above
the lines Of the roof plates were of frame
construction, made of heavy oak timbers,
tudely squared and put together with
treenails and boarded with oak plank,
sometimes and inches thick, usually
but on at an angle Of As degrees, thus
making of every piece separate brace.
The boarding was covered with coarse
btucco, or split shingles put on with
wrought iron nails. Governor Henry
Bulls house at Newport, R. l., erected
in 1889, is a good example Of the first
period Of colonial architecture
: Among other examples may be men
toned Captain Kidd's home on Conani-
cut island, Rhode Island, and "The Old
Mill" both of which bear evidence of the
Bolidity which characterizes the work of
the early colonists. ss.

yards were the native forests, and the
only available wood working machinery
was the tooth saw moving at right an
giles to the log. Nails were imported
from Birmingham, England, and general
hardware from London. Much OF the
brick used was brought from the mother
country before the colopists succeeded
in producing from their own soil suf-
ficiently good substitute. But the in
terror work was evidently done on the
spot. Every item was Of necessity a
tedious labor, and from the telling of a
tree to the tenonins Of a door panel was
done by the slow process of the human
hand.
Such were the difficulties Of importing
materials from England in those days
that six or seven years were sometimes
required to complete gentleman's man
bion. The architect was then his own
builder. He began his professional stud
les by being apprenticed, and besides be-
ing proficient in drawing and perfectly
familiar with the orders of architecture
he was obliged to undergo practical
training in mason work, carpentry and
carving before he was considered prop
erly qualified to practice.
Today with our modern appliances for
splitting rocks we have no difficulty in
procuring good building stones, but in
colonial days the common method now

The regular monthly meeting OF the

Christian Association was held last night
In the Board rooms. The attendance was
not so large as usual, owing 10 the incle-
ment weather.
The point OF organizing ladies' classes

Board present. that IF the absent mem
bers thought proper, classes for ladies
would be held three times per week in
the forenoon, 10 be under the direction OF
Professor Anton SchatZel IL was also
decided that a piano be placed in the
gymnasium so as 10 have music during
the drills for the classes. both male and
female.
Tho Board OF Directors is doing every
thing in its power TO make the privileges
Of the Association even better than ever
before, both in the educational and the
