The : ground floor will consist of a bar, private bar, sitting room, commercial room, 'dining room, kitchen, and offices. At the George street end of the site s, shop is to be erected. The upper fiat, to which -• access is gained by a fine staircase from. the two passages in the Octagon and 1 George street fronts, consists of sitting rooms and twenty bedrooms, and in ad- • dition to which, extra bedrooms are provided on the uppermost or dormer floor. 'The frontage occupied will be 104 ft. ; the rooms on the ground floor are 14ft. in height, those above 12ft., and the attic > floor is lofty and well ventilated.
