The GreenHouses

Some decorating: The Dragonfly Lamps have red and purple grapes around the bottom. The bottom of the stained glass shades are scallopped. The silver dragonflies fit into the grapes. Above the dragonflies is sky blue and then there are green leaves cascading from the center top of the shade. They are pretty.
The 4 feet x 13 feet carpets in the emergency exit corridors are dark brown/off white/green/medium brown.
The female Spanish dancers in the painting , they wear maroonish red satin dresses.
The center ceiling light fixture in the back corridor and the V sconces to the left and right of the Al-Aqsa Mosque painting. These lights remain on even at night in case the boys get up they can see. The lights in the front corridor also remain on. They are low watt.

The way to get to the first emergency corridor you must go through the three foot wide entrance door to the first alcove. The three foot wide entrance door to the first stairwell is to the left of the alcove entrance. The stairwell is 10 feet x 10 feet size. The stairs are straight ahead from the entrance door , go up to the corner and then turn to the right. This takes them up to the Main level above. The 3 foot wide entrance door to the emrgency corridor is located under the stairs to the far right corner of the stairwell. The right side stairwells have the vacumn closets in them. This one is to the right of the entrance door on the other wall. The second emergency exit corridor is the same but opposite of the first.
To enter the second corridor you must first go through the entrance to the second alcove. This entrance does not have a door. Just brown stained frame and molding. A door would interfere with the entrance door to the stairwell. This stairwell is the same as the first stairwell but opposite. The exits from the corridors are set up the same way as the left side exits. The outside concrete stairwell is also the same.
Back to the left side exits. The stairs in the outside stairwell are grey stone steps. There is a antique brass rail from the bottom of the steps to the top.
At the top of the stairs there is a six foot wide brick walk that takes you to the entrance doors of the greenhouses. The doors are three feet wide double doors. They are antique brass and have glass upper and lower parts of the doors. The doors open out with push rail.
The green houses are octagon shape(8 sides). The lower two foot high bottom are made of grey stone. Some of the stone have iron in them and appear rust color. Inside the green houses the lower walls are brick. The upper walls are all glass with dark brown metal frames. The walls are 10 feet high. The roof is cone pie shaped sections. The roof shingles are dark green clay pot shingles. There are skylights around the peak. They are pie shaped glass four feet to the round metal disks at the top. The green houses are 43 feet diamter.
The floors of the green houses are pieces of slate cemented in. The floors are concrete and slate. If the slate can be rust color that would be best but dark blue slate is alright. There is a 7 foot round wall in the center of the greenhouses.The wall is 3 1/2 feet high and inside there is dirt and an orange tree? The tree is under the skylights. There may be flowers around the trees.
This courtyard is in the center of where the left side wing is located. The path curves to the right and left from the cneter path. The side paths take you to the 5 foot double doors centered with the middle right and left center bedrooms. The double doors are each 2 1/2 feet wide. These doors are also antique brass with upper and lower glass panels. They open into the courtyard and also have a push bar on the inside.
More about the courtyard and bedroom wings another time. This is the left side wing. The right side wing is the same but opposite.
