THE NEW HOUSE OF H. S.
TYGERT- The new dwelling of H.
S. Tygert on Methodist Street,
(now Mt. Vernon Street,, front
ing Delaware, which has been
in course of erection the past three
months, will this week pass from
under the hands of the carpenters,
plumbers and painters. It is one
of our most attractive modern
structures, but its greatest merit
is in its inner arrangements which
includes all the modern conven-
| fences and comforts that can be
\ given a house in the city. The
house stands near the middle Of
a lot covering about three quart
ers of an acre of ground. It fronts
"A feet, running back 81 feet, the
fronts on both Methodist and
Church streets having bay win
dows to both the first and second
stories. The sitting and dining
rooms are connected by most con
veniently arranged folding doors;
in the rear of these is a large
kitchen and back of this again a
completely equipped Summer
kitchen. The parlor is the front
room on the opposite side of the
hall, east side, which is heated
with low down CRATE as well as
from the heater in the cellar which
heats the whole house. The upper
story has 5 capacious and well
lighted bedrooms besides a bath
room and water closet and the
third story has bed rooms. Every
room has a clothes press in it,
mantles Of slate, and lighted with
gas. The house is well supplied
with that great desideratim for
summer comfort go porches - the
front one being % feet, the west
side "a feet, and the one filling
the northeast angle IA feet. The
cellar extends under every square
foot of the structure and the
ground floor of every part is ce-
mented, thus while largely pre-
venting dampness, renders the
premises sure against rats. Near
the center stands the heater that
4 gives warmth to the house. A
dumb waiter with screen doors
descends from the kitchen into the
cellar, and is a most convenient
place to put meats, ETC., in the
summer The arrangement of the
winter and summer kitchens for
convenience would at once arrest
the eye of any housekeeper. A
pump from a well of good water
stands in the western porch. Near
this, under the porch, is a cement
ed cistern with a capacity of 5000
/ gallons enough when filled to last
the family for six months. In the
kitchen stands force pump that
throws the water to a tank of 160
gallons, above the second story
that supplies the water closet and
bath tub. From boiler in the
corner of the room near the stove
supplied with water from the low
er cistern, hot and cold water is
conveyed to the bath room. The
waste from the first and second
story is carried eff to the stable
yard by a 5-inch sewer a distance
