269 -3- Capri buildings, is situated upon a hillside. It started in a small [[way?]] and was at one time connected with an adjoining convent. It came into the hands of the English owners about thirty-six years ago. They made a number of additions and sold it about six years ago to Dr. Hamilton of New York, who occupied it four years, and he also made changes and additions. My friend, Thomas S. Jerome formerly of Detroit, and now of Capri, and myself bought it two years ago, and we have made a number of changes: so, you can readily imagine its architecture to be of a very mixed character. I enclose herewith, a small photograph showing the front of the house, which you will observe is not very attractive. The rear of the house, behind which the garden lies, you will see from the photograph herewith, is only two stories high. We have no interior plans. The two upper stories only are in use, and we call the second story from the top the ground floor because it is level with the lower part of the garden. On this floor there are twelve rooms, including one large studio room. I could make you a rough sketch of the rooms, but have no definite information concerning their dimensions.
