Transcription: James W. Allison Esqr. Dear Sir: If you won't object seriously to having a two story bay on the extension of yr. house— we should like to put it on as shown on plan #4— It will not only improve the building from the outside but add to Servants Hall & room above— We shall finish the drawings as soon as possible— Very truly yours Griffin & Randall 1 Dec. '93. Does it not seem better to put the door from Kitchen to S. Hall, or N. End of partition so that in passing from K. to Ice room & from S.H. to Porch. the distance will be much shorter— This is the way it is shown on #4— but if you prefer to have it at the other side of room it can just as well as not be placed there— [ALS, Griffin & Randall to James W. Allison, December 1, 1893, on letterhead: Griffin & Randall Architects 48 Exchange Place New York; evelope docketed: Dec. 1. 1893 About bay windows in rear extension. Door between Kitchen & servants hall.] [edited by JTK] |
