Ware and Arthur Ware, architects of New York, is that  of the letter U with its ends spread apart, the court thus formed facing south, and insuring a maximum amount of sun-light.  There is a sun parlor fifteen feet wide and sixty feet long.  The building will be two stories in height and will contain fifty-one bedrooms for committed women, a room for the head matron, three rooms for ward matron, six officers’ rooms, one guest’s room, an office, visitors’ parlor, officers’ parlor, officers’ dining-room, general dining-room, kitchen and laundry, and general recreation room.”
