The reaulta of Intelligent planning .
and co-operntion are evident In erery j

new establishment are seen aerernl
of the neweat features In buildlni,
Indlreot Lighting Installed
Although the atructure abounds In
Improved methods and efficiency, two
or throe may take an especially out- i
standing place before the public eye.
These include Indirect and aeml- j
Indirect llchtlnir throughout; alr-
condltlonlng equipment; and a pleas
ing, well-modulated expression of
charm unaffected by any lovlah dis
plays. The building, located at Sixth and
B streets, was purchased by P. J.
Bartholomew last Hay. It was orig
inally a Catholic church. From that
tlmo until now, Mr. Bartholomew has
been working steadily at the project
until he hna completed what dcservca
to be ranked as the major building
project In Springfield -of the past
few years.
The house, as It now stands, Is a
one-story building, finished In a light
grocn ahade, with the roof a darker
green. The exterior finish la of
ahingllng. There is a porch at either
end of the main building, extending
toward the sidewalk. One entrance
leads into the chapel; the other to
Mr. Bartholomew's office. The aur
roundlngs hare been carefully land
scaped. Room for 130 People
The chapel, aeatlng 180 persona
comfortably, Is a 24 by 40 foot room,
finished In antique Ivory, and the
celling In light pastels. The furnish
ings are of antique lrory.
The feature of thla room Is the In
direct lighting, a feature which all
publio placoa could afford to adopt.
Utilizing th beams which give the
chapel an Old English atmosphere,
Indirect lighting has been Installed
Inside the beams. The result la well
worth the trip of Inspection.
Another feature of the chapel Is
furnished by the benches. Not the
ordinary, stiff-backed Bents of famil
iar church use, these benches are
form fitting, designed entirely for
comfort. As a reanlt of Mr. Bar
tholomew's work, the chnpcl ta
thoughtful of comfort In evory re
spect In a balcony alcove In the rear of
the room, la the place provided, for
musicians at funornls. An orgnn Is
altuated there, with provision made
for other musicians. It, too, la lighted
Indirectly, Wine-colored velour
drapes, rich and henvy, drape over
stencilled chnpcl wlndowa, giving on
atmosphore of seclusion.
Adjoining the chapel la the family
room, 18 by 18 feet, fiulshcd very
quietly and yet completely. Across
from the fnmlly room are two slum
ber rooms, both beautifully done.
On the northeast end of the build
ing Is the. gnrago-furnnce room. A
giant furnnco tnkea enre of heating
problems; but the owner has been
thoughtful enough to Install an air
conditioner which will Insure a free
circulation of air In all rooms.
The north row of rooma included
a waah room, preparation room, and
office. Stairs lending to the music
alcove are in the office.
Aside from the chnpel, aeml-lndlrect
lighting Is used In all rooma. Carpets
are of heavy material and are used
on all floor space. Although the
building has been constructed with as
much fire-proof mnterlal as poaaihle,
further fire protection la nvniinble
In extinguishers.
