NJ. B. Cleveland. Of Waterloo. Mr..
Cleveland had made . thorough study
Of tho beautifully wooded hill site and
came before the COMMITTEES with his
recommendation Of an English style OF
architecture. He had planned a long,
rambling structure without basement
with many gables, many porchcs, green
shingled roof. half timbered plaster in
gable ends and wide single or board
exterior walls.
The main building In the center 10 q
story and q half structure containing
an immense club room. 3Ox60 feet, with
diningroom opening OF from It 1890
feet, making q possible dance hall
SOx7S feet. This room Is entered thru
hall. with cloakroons adjoining, and
cosy cardroom opening OF from It
for the bridge players. At tho oppo-
site end Is the kitchen with wide sery-
ing counter for cafeteria service snS
beyond the kitchen 10 4 wing extend
ing eastward for the women's locker
room. This service end is only ono
story high. Abave the clubroom are
u sleeping-porch rooms. each with
its dormer gable, some facing north
and some south. The clubroom has an
immense open fireplace. and will be
plastered and heated with q h RtlnE
plant.
A long veranda on the north side
Is approached thru double French
doors, while on the south are two
smaller porches. also accessible thru
double French doors, with q terrace be-
tween the porches. The valley view to
the north and tho woodland view to
the south are thus unobstructed from
the main clubroom.

tends a long. ons-story locksrroen fos

cided to place tho entrance from the
south. Decision Of tho county board
to extend the South Center street paw
ing has. made this plan moro advan-
tageous, as 1t will be only mile and
q quarter from the now paving to tho
clubhouse over the township road on
the south side Of tho country club
grounds, and tho township road may
be graveled soon.
The architect had been instructed to
design building that could be erected
for $4,000, which he claimed to have
done, but the building committee
unanimously ordered shingles for tho
side walls instead Of wide board sid
ing, and ordered the clubroom made
thirty instead OF twenty EIGHT feet
wide and sixty instead Of nifty feet
long, which swelled the estimate $500.
at the first meeting. The board 10 de-
termined to have fine clubhouse. even
II another stock selling campaign has
to be put on. The plans and elevation
design are on public exhibition at the
Marshalltown Club.
The greens committee was author
lied to employ q professional golf in
structor and Garcia to have charge
Of the grounds.
