At each end of the ball room are smaller apartments containing the beautiful Palladian windows with which Woodlands supplies to lovers of the style an admirable examplar. In a circular arch 10 feet wide, formed in the 18-inch stone wall of the house, is set the triple window frame. The distance from centre to centre of slender wood columns support- ing an interrupted entablature is 5 feet. The gable of the portico roof is treated as a pediment, and the whole is upheld by six wood columns of 25 ...inches diameter. The wall under the portico and that of the basement are plastered and scored to represent ashlar work. The windows are surrounded by a trim of wood in some cases, of brick in others. Elsewhere the rubble wall is exposed and has been given a buff lime wash, which has not only changed for the better the colour of the grey stone, but has so filled out the hollows and smoothed the rough places as to make the wall of Woodlands so admirable in appearance that it may well be imitated for new homes to-day.
