THE CAPITOL TERRACE. The Improvements Now in Progress Around the Base of the Building. THE APPARENT HEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURE TO BE INCREASED—COMMITTEE ROOMS AND OTHER: ROOMS TO BE MADE IN THE TERRACE, &C. One of the accompanying cuts shows the en- largement of the basement room of the Capitol to be gained through the construction of the marble terrace. The other presents a view of the west front of the building as it will appear when the pending work shall have been completed, with the probable excep- Won that the addition to the central front of the main building, which is shown in the cut, will not be included in the work now progressing. The general architectural effect aimed at in the construction of the terrace is to add to the apparent height of the building. The extension of the central front has fre- quently been urged, and the architect has ar- ranged his basement plans so that should the extension be deemed expedient no change will be necessary. The extension represented In the cut would throw the iniddle front of the main building some thirty-flve or forty fect further out than at present, and it would face the grand eutrance with a recess portico. It is not deemed probable, however, that Congress will decide to have the middle front of the Capitol extended further out than the wings, as in all discussions of the plan hitherto the Scheme has been re- jected, THE ADDITIONAL SPACE gained by the underground work, as shown in one of these plans, is, as stated by Mr. Fred. Law Olmstead, the landscape architect who devised | the plan, 1,400 feet long by GO feet wide, di- vided into rooms opening from a central corri- dor. Ten of these correspond in form and di- mensions with the best of the present upper committee rooms, each having two or three vindows looking upon the existing courts in une Inanner as those of the architect's in the present ment. The to be made attractive winter The Tooms in question are marked Aon the plan of the basement shown in the cut.

The plan also provides for an enlargement of the present boiler-rooms. THE COST OF THE WORK. This improvement is being carried forward under the supervision of Architect Clark. The estimated cost of the total work is $735,000, and the Senate of the last Congress passed a bill appropriating that sum, upon the theory that it was better to provide for the entire work in one lump than by piecemeal; but the House re- fused to take up the bill, and subsequently Senate passed another appropriation of $350,- 000. In conference this was reduced to $200,000, which it is estimated is sufficient to carry on ‘the work until the end of the next fiscal year, June 30th, 1886. The external work at the north end of the Capitol has been nearly. completed, and contracts haye been made for thatextending along the western side of the Senate wing and forall of the south end. The terrace is to be cut down all the way round, so that the ground without the terrace walls will have but a slight ascent in the direction of the Capitol. THE ESPLANADE or deck of the terrace Is to be in two parts the division running mid-way between the outer wallsof the present bullding and the outer walls of the new work. The inner one of these eral flights of steps opening from the porticos; the outer one four fect lower. The two levels are to be connected by flizhts of steps opposit: those from the porticos. In line with th lower flights and following the division by tween the two levels there is to be a channel eight feet wide end four feet deen, bottom of it on the lower level, the top higher than the upper. This ‘is to be fille il and planted and decoraged in. the Itali A ner of gardening, con ntly with the arehi- tectural style of the Capitol.

The basin or fish pond, into which the fountain now empties, will be removed, and a larger fountain, with a’ beauti- ful cascade, is designed to take its place. THE TERRACE Loos. The rooms which are to be constructed within the terrace are represented in the accompany- ing plan by the small squares lined off and the narrow blank space running parallel with the Tows of rooms indicates a corridor which will extend entirely round the three sides of the building. Underneath the main entrance, where the area within the terrace walls extends, there are additional corridors, and the proposed new committee rooms are to open both front and rear on wide corridors, so that the light and ventilation will be equal to any of the upper rooms of the building. On the south side there will be a subterrancan passage opening south of B street, through which carts hauling in coal and hauling out ashes will pass, On the north side a small tunnel for the conveyance of and telephone wires into the building hus been constructed. All the wires are laid here, so that whatever changes may be deemed necessary hereafter in the telegraph and tele- phone syste in use at the Capitol, no cutting Of the floors or pavements will be required. MR. OLMSTEAD’S REASONS, The plan upon whieh the improvements are now being made was originally devised chiefly with a view to improve the arehitectural char- acter of the building, though the necessity of obtaining additional room undoubtedly had effect in influencing the adoption of the design, When, the Capitol grounds were enlarged ten years ago Mr. Frederick Law Oimstead, the landscape architect, invited by the joint committee on publie buildings and ‘grounds to examine the grounds with a view to general scheme of improvement. Mr.Ulmstead conel ed that no improvement of the apitol grounds would be urthwork ¥ building es in its existing torm, He fore, as a preltininary anarchitectural terrace in pla ofearth.
