Two Lodges etc Brooklandwood House near Baltimore USA

The twin lodges and gateway (illustration p. 52) designed by Mr T H. Mawson and the late Mr Dan Gibson, acting as joint architects, form the entrance for a new drive to an existing house near Baltimore, U.S.A., owned by Mr H. Carroll Brown. The design has, in the course of being carried out, been slightly modified. According to custom on Mr Brown's estate, small bricks, 8 inches by 2 inches, have been employed, and the entire exterior afterwards painted white. Leading from the gateway there is a wide straight avenue of old hickory and scarlet oak-trees, two species indigenous to the district. Failing good grass, a wide border of English box has been planted on both sides, and this will eventually be trimmed square and level to a height of 3 feet. This is only a small part of the scheme of gardens designed for Mr Brown. The drawing reproduced was exhibited in this year's Royal Academy.
