Terrace Panel stairs. The)' installed the iron balustrades tin this wall and on the. Canadian section of the main walls. Stone curbings were built around two turf plots in the upper terrace and later around two in the third terrace. The third terrace is enclosed by a low stone curb some 380 feet in length. The second terrace is nine inches higher than the third. Two sawn granite treads were put down lor the entire 70 feet where these two panels meet. These steps will add to the convenience where large crowds are visiting the Peace Garden. The curve to which the steps were laid adds considerably to the appearance of the flagstone floor in this section. Three major developments this year in the Formal Garden are: the building of the stone Garden House at the south end of the upper terrace, the making of over 700 large flagstones for the upper and second terraces, and the construction of the third pool. The Garden House, 32x34 feet, has stone walls three feet thick and ten feet high. The walls are not continuous since there are two openings in the south wall, each seven feet wide and the full height. The openings are wider in the east and west walls. Piers at the north corner, three feet square, support the roof. Thus the view of the upper terrace is not restricted from inside the building. The roof projects beyond the walls four feet each way. Protection from the sun and rain can be secured for quite a number of people at one time. The roof is flat and at present the lumber is covered with one thickness of roofing paper, to afford winter protection, but in the warmer spring season it is planned to have a pitch and gravel covering added.
