On the other side, opposite these two rooms, is the parlor, or drawing-room C, seventeen feet four inches (17 feet 4 inches) by fort}'-one (41) feet, a beautiful and capacious apartment, having windows to the front, and on the side a large octagonal ba}^- window ten (10) feet wide, with three lights. Along the whole front of the main building, is a ten (10) feet wide verandah, or piazza, approached by a flight of stone steps. At the back of the drawing-room, also, is a piazza, with steps leading down to the grounds ; and access to which is obtained through the two rear windows, which extend to the floor, for the purpose. Passing on through the hall, past the main stairway to the upper stories, we reach the private stairway to the right of which is the private entrance F, which forms a very pleasing and striking fea- ture m the design. A stone portico has been here constructed, or, rather, a Porte-Cocher G, under which is the car- riage-drive, and over which is a large and elegant conservatory. At the back of the private stairs is a door leading into the kitchen H, eighteen (1 8) feet by twenty (20), supplied and fitted up with range, sink and other modern conve- niences, and communicating be} T ond with a summer-kitchen J, fourteen (14) feet by twentj* - (20), with a door at the rear Opening from the hall of the private entrance is the Butler's Pantry I. The second story of the main building has four large chambers, immediately over the three rooms beneath , and di- rectly pver the kitchen, are the sleeping apartments of the domestics. BAPTIST CHURCH; YORK, ENGLAND. IT affords us much gratification at being able to present to our readers a design of a Church, which has lately been erected in York, England, for which we are indebted to the kindness and liberality of the Architect, Mr, Wm. Peache}', of Darlington, Yorkshire, who has placed at our disposal this and one or two other designs of churches, con- structed by him in different parts of England. • The church is situated with its side to Priory street, Micklegate , And will accommodate about 700 persons. The style is the Early Decorated. The plan consists of a nave and aisles, with transepts. The extreme length of the nave is seventy-eight (78) feet ; the width twenty-four feet six inches (24 feet 6 inches) ; height to the eaves above the clerestory thirty-two feet six inches (32 feet 6 inches) ; and to the collar- beam of roof (where it is ceiled) forty- four feet six inches (44 feet 6 inches). The extreme width is forty-four (44) feet between the aisle walls, and fortv- nine feet six inches (49 feet 6 inches) across the transept. The arcade below the clerestory is of brick, with plaster mouldings, and supported upon cast iron columns, with foliated capitals. A gallery has been erected over the aisles and across the ends, over the ves- tibules. At the opposite end an arched recess has been provided for the organ and choir. The front of the galleries is of pitch pine, with Quebec pine panels in the lower part, and ornamental iron work in the upper part, the framing being relieved with ornamental cham- fering. Small columns are placed at intervals, with brackets above them, to carry the book-board. The iron columns, supporting the arcade, divide the gallery front into bays, as they are seen the entire height. The organ-gallery front is in orna- mental wood-work throughout.
