SKETCH No. 12.

This illustration shows a design adapting the form of mantel frequently seen i\\ England and France, with a hood extending to the ceiling. The fireplace opening may be from 3 feet 6 inches to 4 feet 6 inches in width, without changing the height of the mantel. If a wider opening is desired, the proportion of the mantel should be changed, and we would be pleased to prepare a drawing for the same. This design would look well in a large hall of a residence or in a public building, as a library, assembly hall or hotel.

Width of breast 7 feet 5 inches.

Width of opening 4 " 1 "

Height of mantel 2 "

Height of opening 3 " 7 "

Price of red face and moulded bricks necessary to lay up this mantel, including the hearth, fire-back, under-fire and tile shelf, $84.

Price of cream, gray, buff, pink, or brown bricks, $126.

Below is a drawing of each ornamental brick used in this design.
