The cellar which is now being ex-
Icavated is Is % feet. 1t is to be
a cottage, with more nearly the es-
sential features of houses thus de-
nominated than is usually the case,
the design being entirely different
from anything yet built here. In
the absence of any particular class
ification the Doctor calls it the
Ionic. The front room which would
usually be set apart for the parlor,
but which the Doctor calls his sit
Iting-room (he don't fancy rooms
that can't be used at pleasure will
be octagonal in shape, surrounded
with a porch of the same outline
The face of the house will be what
might be called a parterre of bay
windows-frst, second and third
stories, each receding from the
other, in a perpendicular line, Civ
ing a decidedly novel effect. But
we will wait until the house is built
before going into thorough de-
Iscription. Jonathan B. Evans is
the architect and builder.
