A GENTLEMAN'S COUNTRY HOUSE. MR. HORACE R. APPELBEE, ARCHITECT.
[Issued only with the International Edition.]
This design is founded upon the Francis I style of architecture,
though it by no means slavishly follows it. It was required to obtain
a house suited in all respects to modern requirements, including such
things as sash-windows, and in places plate-glass. These hardly
harmonize with the ordinary character of English country-houses of the
Elizabethan and Queen Anne types, with their many mullioned windows
and lead-glazed casements, nor is the other extreme of heavy Classic
with ponderous detail and a portico two stories high at all desirable.
The style of Francis I offers a mean between these, giving emphasis to
the principal block by a certain amount of symmetrical planning,
together with picturesqueness, with rich and refined detail, which a
gentleman's country-house certainly requires. The exterior would be of
long and thin red bricks, with stone cornices and other dressings, and
roofed with green slates. The interior has oak-work and enriched
plaster ceilings to the principal rooms, with the exception of the
hall, where the ceiling would be of oak. The hall and the staircase
would have some stained-glass in the windows. The original drawing was
exhibited in this year's Academy.
