Emmet Kannal’s new house is now practically completed, except a portion of the interior painting. In all respects, including size, convenience, an elegance of finish and thoroughness of construction it will rank among the very best residences in the town. The exterior, which like the interior is after the very latest suburban models, and very aorate. The interior finish is marvellously fine; and includes quarter-sawed and antique oak, black ash, hackberry, and various other hard woods, all highly polished; and the extent and elegance of which must be seen to be appreciated. The building is thoroughly and in fact elaborately plumbed throughout, with hot and cold water in every part of the house. The plumbing alone cost as much as many enure houses, in the town. The house s heated by hot air, with a most complete heating apparatus. The furnace is in the cellar, and with its attachments, cost SSOO. A portable gas machine, also in. Jthe cellar, brilliantly lights the house, the machine having capacity for 70 lights. The same machine also supplies the magnificent gas cooking range, in the kitchen, and also the several grates in different rooms, for use at times when a little warmpth is needed, and the fu r „ nace is not running. It is truly a splendid building and henceforth no one has fully seen Rensselaer who has not seen Emmet Kannal’s residence, at the south end of River street.
