LODGE FOR SWINTON GRANGE

F. TUGWELL, ARCHITECT

OME RECENT DESIGNS FOR
DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE.

Swinton Grange, near Malt on, of which
Mr. Frank A. Tugwell is the architect, is being
erected for Captain and the Honourable Mrs. Clive

Behrens on a site two miles to the north
of Malton, adjoining the Castle Howard
Road. The style of the house is in
strict accordance with the Yorkshire
manor-houses erected in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, which still
remains one of the most interesting
forms of architecture in the county.
The outside of the building will be
formed of rough cast, with Ancaster
stone dressings, and a hard West Riding
stone for the chimney caps, etc. The
elevation is relieved by the chimney
stacks being carried out into red sandy
rubbers, with wide mortar joints and
dark red and brindled blue Staffordshire
roof-tiling. The hall and drawing-room
will be carried out in walnut and oak,
and the dining-room in white painted
deal. The gate-keeper’s lodge is already
complete, and the illustration shows that
the design is in harmony with the main building.
The other illustration on this page shows a large
“ living-room hall ” in a riverside house designed
by Mr. Leonard Wyburd. The staircase is arranged
to go up over the ingle-nook, having a small
window looking down into the hall itself. The
