Kо̄kanâya

The lower architecture is 1ft. 9in. deep. The columns
of the upper story are 9ft. 9. high, cap 1ft 6. base 1.2.
The eastern most column is lower than the others
7ft. 2 high and the upper architrave turns
an elbow to descend to the lower level in a
most naive way. Between the columns
are decorated panels 3ft 5 high with
carved seats on their inner face. The
sculpture of the columns and the architraves, the whole
treatment of the façade in proportion and
arrangement give this house first place.

A small detached house S.E. of the town
is of special interest, it was noticed by
De Vögue. In plan it is quite square with
an architrave and central column opening
one side to the air, in the ground story.
Within, this story is divided by a broad
transverse arch which supports a ceiling
of large slabs of stone. The floor above has
two windows to the N and a doorway in the
west which is reached by a flight of steps
cut in a single long block of stone. (see photo)
