and elegant structure. The basement and
first story are of solid brick with granite
trimmings, while the upper part Of the
tower and gable ends are shingled. The
roUfs are all slated, that OF the tower being
Of red slate. In each gable end Is a large
and beautiful half circle window which
greatly adds to the general appearance.
There are two outside open porches from
which folding doors admit to reception
rooms. From each OF these reception rooms
doors open into the church parlor in front
and the audience.room beyond. Entering
the church parlor one hnds an attractive
fireplace with mantel and plate glass mir
ror. Here the prayer meetings OF the
church will be held, the best part Of the
hOnse being set apart for this purpose.
From this the audience-room may be en-
tered, sliding doors only separating the
two. The auditorium IL not large, but
CHEEKY and home. like. The room is fin.
ished into the roof, the ceiling and vain
scoting being finished in white wood. The
railing and stairs are VI red brick, the pews
of white oak, and the organ and pulpit set
of antique oak. Not a drop of paint was
used on tho interior, the woods being flu
ished in natural and rubbed down. The
walls are decorated in oils, the prevailing
tints of the decorations and upholstery be-

taken to have all the colOrs harmOnize, aud

the same floor aud the ladies' parlor above
all open into it, it will be possible to seat

kitchen, furnace, store-rooms, etc. The
