Recent Designs in Domestic Architecture
design has, in the course of being carried out, been
slightly modified. According to custom on Mr.
Brown's estate, small bricks, 8 inches by 2 inches,
have been employed, and the entire exterior after-
wards painted white. Leading from the gateway
there is a wide straight avenue of old hickory and
scarlet oak-trees, two species indigenous to the
district. Failing good grass, a wide border of
English box has been planted on both sides,
and this will eventually be trimmed square and
level to a height of 3 feet. ■ This is only a
small part of the scheme of gardens designed
for Mr. Brown. The drawing reproduced was
exhibited in this year's Royal Academy.
