r repair, but in massing and general
picturesque effect it offers many suggestions which can be utilized to
advantage in our country houses.

Of these four views very little need be said. The charming
picturesqueness of the two general views is sufficient excuse
for presenting them, but they contain much more to the student of
architecture who cares to look for it. The two detailed views give an
excellent idea of the simple, straightforward methods of the builders.

LXXVII to LXXX.

MANOIR D'ANGO. NORMANDY.

This building was erected between the years 1530 and 1542. Its general
design and especially its detail are of the Francois I type, and very
beautifully executed, as will be seen from the larger scale details.
The materials as indicated are stone and brick.

In Benoist's La Normandie Illustrie a remarkably interesting circular
brick dove-cote is shown in the courtyard of this _manoir_, but it
does not appear in any of our views, and may have been demolished
since M. Benoist's sketches were made in 1852. Its walls were
decorated with colored brick, laid in bands and diaper patterns.

Club Notes.

The Baltimore Architectural Club commenced its active work for
the season on the first of October. It has its rooms in the Wilson
Building, Saratoga and Charles Streets, which are always open for the
use of its members, and there will be regular meetings every Thursday
evening during the winter and spring. At these meetings various
subjects of interest will occupy the attention of the members, both of
a practical and aesthetic character.

At one meeting of each month there will be an informal talk or
lecture on some of the mechanical, constructive or sanitary questions
connected with architecture.

On one evening there will be sketching from the cast, and on another
an impromptu sketch projet, to be completed in an hour. In addition
to these there will be competed for three of the larger and more
important regular projets, such as were made last season by the Club,
and for which two prizes are offered to those obtaining the first and
second place in point of general merit.

The present officers and Board of Control of the Baltimore
Architectural Club are J.B. Noel Wyatt, W. Emmart, Wm. G. Noelting,
Geo. Worthington, W.M. Ellicott, W.G. Keimig, and Charles Anderson.
