NEW BUILDING, JUNE, 1834.
NOTICE.
To Stone Masons and Carpenters.
Proposals will be received by the Executive Committee of the Episcopal School until 7th July for the erection of a House, on the grounds belonging to said School, of the same dimensions and of similar materials to that which they have recently caused to be built, viz. 56 by 36 feet, two stories high—walls of rough granite, and roof covered with tin. The proposals for the stone work and for the wood work must be separate.
The contractor for the stone work will be expected to furnish all the materials belonging to his department, and to finish all that appertains to the laying of the foundation, the completion of the walls, chimneys, hearths, doorsteps, pillars, and plastering; all to be executed in a substantial and workmanlike manner, and after the model of the house already erected on the grounds of the School.
The contractor for the woodwork will be required to furnish all the materials belonging to his department, and to finish all that appertains to the floors, ceiling, roof, (including its covering with tin,) doors, windows, (including glass,) stair case, mantle pieces, and wash boards; likewise in a substantial and workmanlike manner, and after the model of the house before mentioned—except that the particular arrangement of the interior will be subject to the future direction of the Executive Committee.
