∗ A distinguished provincial architect recently told me that he saw grave objections to the pavilion style, inasmuch as the elevation of the buildings would thereby be hopelessly destroyed—aboutan average idea of the requirements in hospital architecture, I fear. Google Scholar

∗ The most valuable modification of the gallery style was that introduced, I believe, through Mr. Gaskell's advocacy, on his accession to the Commission, of giving to all the galleries and wards, without exception, a south or south-west exposure. The plan of the centre block at the Lincolnshire County Asylum was, while in course of erection, altered to carry out this important principle. Google Scholar

‖ In 1865 I saw at Pan, through the kindness of M. Auzouy, the director of the asylum, the plans of the new asylum for the department (for 500 patients) then in course of construction. I also visited with him the magnificent site selected for this asylum. The general idea was that of a central corridor, running east and west, with detached wards opening into it north and south, thus appropriating the main feature of the pavilion style of hospital architecture. 1 believe this plan of M. Auzouy to have been the lirst attempt at the application of the pavilion system to asylum architecture. Google Scholar
