.n from. the ireport of J. W. Lang-
* ,ihr,eInLapegecisitoartuoteProisfontshaendpArosvyinluomes• :of
'On rio having at its last session appro-
priated. the sum. Of $100,000 to parchase
a site and erect buildings for an floapital
for the reclareadion and cure of habitual
• drunkards, steps were at once taken by
the Government to carry out that Object.
The City of Hamilton having been: select-
ed as the location for th,e Institution, of-
fers.were solicited. by the Commissioner
of Pablic WorkS for the sale of land,
suitable in respect of position and quan-
. ..
tity, .for the purpose. It was consider
ed desirable to obtain a site,. not nearer
than two miles, and not more distant
than four -miles from the city. It was
aiso of great importance that the site
• should afford reasonable seclusion, ,and,
• if necessary, complete isolation from the
public ; conned with a healthful and
sightly position, and the -important san-
itary requisites of fresh air, an abundant
supply of pure water, ;and pleasant and
oheerfnlisurroundings: Thirty-nine lots• .
of land were offered, representing 1,517
Acres, at an aggregate cost of $31,9,930 or
$210 per acre. Many of the hits wet c
'entirely too far front he city for the site
• of a public Institution, ancl were there-
fore not exatnined. ; but all that came
within a proper radius were, inspected.
• Many good lots were offered under the
Mountain, but au• examination- it was
• very apparent that qnietness and. seclu-
sion could not bel had to a sufficient de-
gree, or to anything like the extent that .
could be obtained upon the, Mountian.
It was also made very clear, that if a
site was chosen in t e latter place, the
necessity for pi'-ingthe Institution at
• least two mile, froin bhe city, in order to
obtain seclusion, would be to a great ex-
tent ebviated by the !hill barrier that in-
tervened. • The lot offered by Moore &
Davis; agents, on the brow of the moun-
tain, and. east of -Hon. ':Isaac Buchanan's
property. containing 36 acres, was be-
yond doubt the best, site in all respects.
It is about 300feet above James' Street
Square, and. nearly 400 feet above . the
lake, overlooking the:City of Hamilton,
Burlington Bay and: the surrounding
country, while the Ideation itself is as re-
tired and secluded could :be -desired.
-Buildings erected upon it could be seen
from all points; whicb is a mat' desir-
able 'consideration, provided more impor-
tant objects are not Sacrificed in order to
,
obtain it The only Objection that pre-
sented, and it wss a serious one, was the
small quantity of land offered, viz., 36
• acres, which. was too ' confi.nel for farm-
ing, gardening and ornamentation. , To
overcome this ehjection, I recommended
that the adjoining property on the east,
loelortging to Hon. Isaac Buchanan, and
containing 57 acres, be purchased. This
• recommendation received the approval of
the Government, and. both properties, con-
• taining 93 acres, were acquired for the
sum of 622,400, or equal to $241 per
• acre. When it is considered that the av-
erage price of all the land offered, a con-
• siderable portion of which was between
four and five miles from the city, was
um per acre, it cannot be said that the
payment of $31 over that, average for by
• far the moat Valuable and ;eligible -site,
• was extravagant. - It was found ' °flex-.
amination that large veins of water ran
• through the property, which could be
• tapped. by- wells not exceeding 30 feet in
depth, and which would supply a suffi-
cient quantity of water for the wants • of
the Institution. I
The plans and- specifications' for the
buildings were Prepared by Mr. William
Kauffmann, architea. The front of the
structure faces south-east and will coraL, •
maid a fine view of the city and bay, .
• while the south-west end affords an
equally gpood landscape vieW. In the
rear and eastof the 'lmiilding is a natural
.• grove requiring very little improvement
or expenditure to make a very fine riatu-1
ral park. The original design of the
building was nearly [in the Shape of the
letter T, but as the appropriation Would
• not admit of the erection of the rear
building, containing engine room, cellars,
store rooms, bakery, laundry, dining -
room, servant's bed -rooms, &c., it was
• not undertaken for the present, but
proper arrangements have; temporarily,
been made ia the basement of the main
building for these services. As the rock
was found three feet under the surface,
• the ba-seraent, for the sake of economy id
construction, is above ground from the
• base to the window sills, thns rendering
•
the:se apartments, inl,reference to healthi-
ness, almost equal toAnother story. The
• whole length of the edifice, not including
the flanking towers, is 181 feet, the cen-
tre portion is 50 feetlong - and 56 feet
deep, and the adjoining Wings to, the
• right and left are each 39 feet long and
42 feet deep, while ''the two end Wings
• are 26 feet long and 42 feet deeP. Thus
it will be see:that the centre portion of
the bdilding projects seven feet in rear
• ancl front of over the adjoining wings,
. and the two end wings two feet on
rear and front 'over the same. -. There
is a tower on each end. Of the struc-
ture, '14 feet square.; The height of the
centre portion inelitcling the roof is 63
• feet, and that of the flanks 61 feet
There is an observatory over the centre
building, the , floor of which is 70 feet.
• above the grotind, and the roof 96 feet
or nearly 500 feet above Burlington Bay,
the two towers at the end with roof
•stand. 69 feet above the ground. -
The basement story is constructed of
rubble masonry with'randora al °Ct.-facings
of Hamilton stone covered With aplinth a
• stone walls for the Corridors, and brick
partitions. It contains in - the centre
.lanikling, dining room, barber- shop, por-
ter's room, and two stairways:' The cor-
ridor running lengthways is nine feet
wide, and the passage leading out to the
• rear is. 11 feet wide. To the right
and left of this are the ,servants' rooms,
kitchen, pantry, store rooms, laundry,
• engine room, steam chamber, and dust
shafts and hoists. , The ground floor is
entered in the centre by a high flight of
steps, large door to vestibule with por-
tico, 12 -foot passage, and. inner sash door
with side- and head lights. To the right
there is the general office connecting
with the superintendent's 'private .office;
• to ' the left the parlors, botb. being 16x20.
The corridors running through all the
• different stories are nine feet wide, and
,m• tersect at right angles with the en-
• trance corridors and_ lead to the towers
and entrances at each end, which have
- wide outside steps. On the two sides of
these corridors are the bedrooms, 21 in
• number, and at the rear. corners, the
water closets, baths, dust: shafts, hoists
and private stairs, which are over one
Another throughout ' all the different
