But if the fire had broken out on the ground-floor during the night, great loss of property, and perhaps of life, would have been inevitable.

The roof of the building will be plain, broken only by dormer windows, two on each side, and one at each end, with but a slight projection. These windows are all quadruple, four in each group. Two large chimneys at each end will rise through the building, arching into one just below the roof and rising ten feet above...
