Recent Designs hi Domestic Architecture
Sons; Mr. Bankart supplied the lead rain-water
heads; the stone carving was done by Messrs.
Aumonier, who also carved the lime-tree panels of
the staircase. Mr. Shirley was responsible for the
iron balconies.
The house of which an illustration is given on
page 139 has been designed by Mr. Robert F.
Johnston, of Gray's Inn, for erection on the
Meadway at Hampstead. The house is being
built of small red bricks, tiles of a darker shade
being used for the roof; while all exterior wood-
work will be painted white. All the floors are
being laid on solid concrete foundations, and a
special feature has been made of the chimneys.
The house is T-shaped in plan, its principal eleva-
tion facing south. On the north side, directly
accessible from the drawing-room (21 feet by
16 feet), and not overlooked by the domestic
quarters, are a tennis lawn and garden. The
dining-room (18 feet by 16 feet) is to have its
walls panelled in dark oak, and beams of the
same are to be used for the ceiling. The floor
above, approached by a spacious staircase, contains
four bedrooms and one for servants (reached
by separate stairs), and both floors will have ample
lavatory accommodation and other conveniences.
The music-room and library of the Mount,
Compton, Wolverhampton, of which two illustra-
tions are given, was designed by the recently
deceased architect, Mr. E. A. Ould, F.R.I.B.A.,
of the firm of Messrs. Grayson & Ould, Liverpool.
The work, just completed, has been carried out
in the most satisfactory manner by Mr. James
Parkinson, architectural wood-worker of Liverpool.
Refinement and distinction, reminiscent of the
stately halls of Tudor times, characterises this and
similar interiors designed by Mr. Ould; another
example being that of the music-room at Thornton
Manor, Cheshire, for Mr. VV. H. Lever, M.P.
Mr. Ould has left an indelible mark of his
distinctive quality of design upon the picturesque
architecture of the unique villages of Port Sunlight
and Thornton Hough, Cheshire, where his
cottages, schools and other buildings form a
numerous group scattered over these estates. Mr.
Ould filled the office of President of the Liver-
pool Architectural Society, and in that capacity
gave several scholarly addresses. As an author
