and ceiling are of rough-cast plaster with applied
stencil decoration. The hood of the fireplace is of
copper richly enamelled. The principal part of
the woodwork is mahogany painted white.

The house at Mapperley Park, of which we give
a view of the south-east aspect, a view of the hall,
and plans of the ground-floor and first
floor, was designed by Messrs. A. R.

Calvert and W. R. Gleave, architects,
of Nottingham. The exterior is rough
cast limetvhited, and the roof is covered
with rustic peggy slating. The ceilings
of the rooms have beams of kauri pine,
stained; in the ceiling of the hall the
same kind of wood is also employed.

The fireplaces of the drawing-room
and dining-room are constructed of
glazed bricks.

The house at Swanage, called “ The
View,” of which we give an illustra-
tion, has been built on the edge of
the cliff overlooking Durlstone Bay,
with fine views of Durlstone Head
and the English Channel. The ma-
terials employed in the construction
of this house consist of the local
Purbeck stone in the terrace walls
and in the base of the house, the
outside walls above the base being
rendered and floated in Portland
cement, rough cast with grey pebbles
from the adjacent beach. The roof
is covered with red Fontley tiles, with
