One of the most beautiful conservatories attached to the dwelling, to which we can refer our readers, for an example, is one built by J. W. Perry, Esq., Brooklyn, near New York (Fig. 79), forming the left wing of this elegant villa. Among the most magnificent detached conservatories are those of J. P. Cushing, Esq., at his elegant seat, Belmont Place, Watertown, near Boston; and that at Montgomery Place, the seat of Mrs. Edward Livingston, on the Hudson, Fig. 80.
