Talk:Veranda

RA 7/9/15: Perhaps we should take another look at Downing's use of "pavilion" and "veranda." I'm not sure it's accurate to say he uses the words as synonyms. He never associates them in his treatise, where pavilions are uniformly described as detached garden structures analogous to temples and rustic seats. For example:

"a prospect tower or rustic pavilion, on a little eminence overlooking the whole estate..."

"The temple and the pavilion are highly finished forms of covered seats"

"With regard to pavilions, summer-houses, rustic seats, and garden edifices of like character.... a classic temple or pavilion may crown a beautiful and prominent knoll, and a rustic covered seat may occupy a secluded, quiet portion of the grounds..."

"Large and costly hot-houses were erected by Dr. Hosack, with also entrance lodges at two points on the estate, a fine bridge over the stream, and numerous pavilions and seats commanding extensive prospects..."

The only time he associates "veranda" and "pavilion," he makes clear there isn't really a word for what he is describing--it is kind of like a piazza and kind of like a pavilion, but not exactly either:

"On the right of this hall is a noble veranda, which, for want of a better name, we call the pavilion.... It affords something more than a veranda, viz. a room in the open air, the greatest luxury in a warm summer..."

[KP 7/2/15] In the third paragraph there is a quote from Rev. Manasseh Cutler describing Monticello without a citation.

RA 7/9/15: I have looked through all the keyword term binders and done many Google searches without finding the source for the paraphrased Manasseh Cutler quote on Monticello.

[KP 6/22/15] I've divided "Piazza/Veranda/Porch/Portico" into four separate pages. As of now, they have the same history essay with the exception that there are no double brackets around the word of the given page; for example, "Portico" is placed in double brackets on the "veranda" page, but not on the "portico" page.The texts and images are particular to each key term.

TOM "view from veranda at Egglesfield..." Watson add to essay?
