GREAT HACiENDAS OF MEXICO
These Comprise All the Requisites of
Small Town.


The house of great hacienda is i'm
posing III appearance, on account, usual
~, of its size rather than of it's archi-
tectural proportions. 1t is generally built
around a large court, and, whether of one
or two stories, conveys the impression of
having been erected solely with view to
rability and spaciousness.
The construction is invariably of stone
or sun-baked bricks, plastered and paint
ed, and, in most cases, presents an even
elevation, broken only by grated win
doWs, a porte cOchere, and loop-holes for
musketry. This structure contains the
offices, apartments for the owner, for the
two or three principal employees and their
families, and for the servants, store
rooms, stables for saddle and for car
riage horses, carriage space, and an in
definite number of spare rooms, according
to circumstances.
Conveniently situated III relation to the
main building are the habitations of en-
ployes, the huts of the poems, sometimes
the Dosada or inn, for the accommoda-
ton Of travellers, the church (which usu-
ally is a pretentious structure), the store,
where every commodity OF peasant life is
for sale, the vast stables for horses,
mules and oxen, storehouses for the prod
uce of the hacienda, and others for agrl-
cultural implements, the wheelwrlght,
blacksmith,- and carpenter plants, the
saddler's and cobbler's shops, the loom,
the bakery-in sum, all the attributes Of
a village, which hacienda of this class
is, practically, having Il population OF
from 800 to 1000 nhabitantS.-Prince A.
