1st. A large entrance gallery for the placing and hanging of statuary and paintings. This hall should be the main feature of the plan, and should be carefully arranged for convenient and advantageous display, without destroying the architectural effect. It may be one continuous hall or divided into parts, at the discretion of the architect. It may be lighted from above. 2d. A large glass-covered court to contain architectural fragments. 3d. An amphitheatre, to seat about two hundred, for lectures on art subjects. A library and an assembly hall. 4th. Four class rooms. These rooms should be well-lighted and of easy access to the court and gallery. 5th. A janitor's room and an office for the custodian. These rooms may be small, but should be conveniently placed either at the entrance to the building or to the grounds. As the number of the students is limited, the size of the rooms is of less importance than the circulation, convenience and artistic beauty of the whole. The building, being the home of the arts, should be pure in style and classical in feeling, though not necessarily archæological. Drawings required, viz.: One plan and one section at the scale of one-sixteenth of an inch to one foot, and the front elevation at the scale of one-eighth of an inch to one foot. |
