Recent Designs in Domestic Architecture
KATHLEEN, DAUGHTER OF W. HODGES, ESQ.
BY S. RAHAM1M SAMUEL
at the Royal Academy last year—and still more
with his English studies and the Kathleen here
reproduced.
While the Indian portraits were in progress Mr.
Rahamim Samuel produced a mural decoration for
the entrance to H.H. the Maharani's Durbar room.
This is wholly Indian in manner and in concep-
tion, and fresco-like in treatment, and is, indeed,
sufficient indication that the artist has not
allowed his mastery of the technical rules of
painting to make him false to his Indian way ol
seeing things. His drawing is good, his colour
excellent, his perception of character keen.
Naturalism he has acquired yet does not force, so
that his example is likely to exercise a good in-
fluence upon the students of the art schools which
the Maharaja Gaekwar has founded and proposes
to extend in the near future. M. H. S.

RECENT DESIGNS IN DOMES-
TIC ARCHITECTURE.
The house at Dorchester, shown in our
coloured illustration, has been erected from the
designs of Mr. P. Morley Horder, F.R.I.B.A., on a
pretty site about a mile from the town of Dorchester
on the Charminster Road. The expense of local
stone for the walls was found to be prohibitive and
these are of brick rough-casted with stone mullions
and enough stone-work in random courses to give a
sense of solidity to the base and salient angles of
the building. Red bricks have been introduced into
the random stone-work course of certain portions to
give richness and variety. The roof is covered
with dark hand-made tiles. The plan below shows
the ground-floor accommodation; the floor above
is of course assigned chiefly to bedrooms. The
garden has been laid out with considerable care
and a walled-in kitchen garden continues the line of
the house on the garden side with good effect.
The stables are attached to the house on the left
of the entry, forming one side of the three-sided
entrance court, and add greatly to the picturesque-
ness of the grouping.
