The walls are supposed to be of brick, the chimney tops of artificial stone, and the roofing of grey slate. 1448. General Estimate. Cubic contents, 27,634 feet; which, at Ad- per foot, is ^£■460: s.:4d. 1449. Bemarks. This Design is also by Mr. Ross of Bristol, and seems good in point of arrangement; though Mr. Ross suggests that it might be an improvement if the bar and staircase were to change places. It would make a very comfortable private cottage, d being a store-room, instead of a bar, and the other places remaining in their present state ; unless, indeed, the large porch, a, were made a green-house, or aviary, or place for sculpture, antiquities, or a museum.
