Arthur Stratton · Series VI. Rectangular Plans Disposed for Internal Effect
Plate XXXI. Rectangular Hall with Coved Ceiling and Lantern Light
Plate XXXI. — This combines an unbroken rectangular plan with additional lateral features; the ceiling being coved all round gives a rectangular space in the centre above which an elliptical lantern is carried. This excellent scheme is eminently suitable for the entrance hall to a large mansion or to a semi-public building.
Public-domain text (1925), transcribed from the archive.org OCR of the first edition and cleaned for reading: line-end hyphens rejoined, running heads, page numbers and the captions of the text figures removed, and obvious misreadings corrected. Stratton’s hundred plates are not reproduced, nor their engraved captions or the index to the illustrations; each Series is divided at his commentary on each plate, and the chapter titles follow the plate headings. The live figures are this book’s own.
