The building has over-all width of 220 feet and a toial depth of 110 feet Unusuval Landscape. Due to e uneven topography of the site for this building considerable en- gineering problems were encountered but which made possible unusual land- scape treatment and unique layout for the building The grade of the land on the Sedz- wick frontage left the basement of the building level with the ground at the front of the building. and here in the basement in the rectangle formed by the arms of the crosses is being devei- oped a garage, one story high. with entrance {rom the street. The roof of the garage. on the level of the first floor of the building. is to be covered with earth 18 inches thick. which will be sodded snd otherwise landscaped Private Garden. | In the rectangie at the rear of the buflding. formed by the rear wings of the crosses. is being prepared a private garden, with walks. shrubs and stone terrace. The rolling interior of the five-acre tract in this apartment development has been landscaped with gravel walks. series of sionc steps. reflecting pools. eurved stone and brick retaining wa shrubs and trees. There are 150 tr on the site which were preserved in the construction of the four units thus far built or being constructed. Two more double units remain to be erected to complete the development.
