In addition to this 10,000 was secured from Carnegie for a branch building in Hilton. The building will be a . handsome and commodious one when complet ed and will be a big asset to the city and county. Architect's Description. In an interview with Folger John son, designer of the building, It Is turned that the new Umatilla County Library will in concept follow the forms of the early Italian Renaissance architecture, but will borrow none of the caprice of this style depending for effect purely upon harmonious pro nation, good color tones and simple dignity. A choice of Italian Renaissance may seem strange at first thought but jcloxer consideration justifies this for certainly most or tne art oi our moa jern civilization is baneJ upon the ln i terpretation and attainments of the 1 Ajfe of Renalwiance in Italy which In turn received its inspiration from the classic art of old Rome. So rather than dextgn the Pendleton library in L.n architectural style that Is purely a .voifue, enjoying popularity today but tr-morrow falling Into dmravor, the architects have reverted directly to the inspired aites of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries hoping to catch the Kpirlt of that old work of which humanity never seems to tire. ' Styh. The buildlnx will be simple and dignified and only clightly ornament- led. a conception of style that seems hiKhly appropriate to such a country as surrounds Pendleton of sweeping contours with but little detail of tree i t- shrubbery.. Any building to har rnonlne with this big country must tie of decided form and line, char acterized by frank expression of Its purpope nml void of all subtlety. The sirchlteetii In Fearchlnst f'r j .'irc'i'icrf ijral e-K;irr'fion fo'ind suggestion in the Portico of the Paul Chapel which nestles back in the cloister of the old church of Santa "oof, Florence, Italy. This portico combines in effect a colonnaide with a large arch at the center giving em I'hasis to the entrance, the whole be ing crowned with a bracketVd cornice and tile roof. The motif will be modified and reproduced in the Pendleton library at the entrance but the wlnirs of the building to either side which house the reading and children's rooms, will w rApresseu on tne exterior with a series of arched windows, and the ef fect of these flngs architecturally will be secured in a contract of void and solid, and play of light and shade from the spreading cornice, but with no restort to embellishment. The en trance will be' keyed somewhat high er in the elaboration of detail which will give a pleasing contrast with the simplicity of the wings. Material Construction. In the choice of materials care is bring exercised to use Incombustible materials as far aa the avnilnhia funds for the building will . permit The basement walls and floors will be oi' concrete and the superstructure of stucco on hollow tile; the roof of ter ra cotta tile. The walls and archi tectural features such as rnmic treatment, capitals, etc.. on the ln!. rior will be of plaster or compos$on nu imiru so as to tone in with the background of wall. Wood win be used sparingly; only for door and inaow trims, bookcases, stacks and furniture. The architectural num. sion will conform to that of the exter ior so that the building as a whole will be a unit in the harmony of its parts. Whether the main floor will be of wood or concrete, or other incombus tible material must be determined hv the cost. In any event it will be cov ered with cork carpet but the en trance vestibule and Dorch will have an Inlay of tile. Tables and chairs will be stained to the desired shade of color. men turned or given a duicote fin. Ish which seems to stand best the wear that library furniture is ordi- i.urny accoraea. Color. Color will be used verv snurinirlv Poth exterior and interior effects will be obtained in broad flat tones, as tar as possible. Probably for the ex terior a mottled green tile rnnf a sort of verde in the window trim and cream stucco will form the color combination. A monochrome for the interior with but small use of wood should carry with it a sort of mono lithic effect. The color for walls and ceilings must be restful to the eye which it Is to say that it must not be too highly reflective, and yet It must not absorb too much light. Gray1 toned with green or blue or lavender or a warmer cream tone would prob ably answer the purpose best In value the walls will be slightly strong er than the ceilings. At one end of each of the reading rooms will be featured a large chim ney place, the design of which will provide for a large bronze of com position plaque (toned to old Ivory).
