There is a handsome entrance.

The large portal is painted with horrific gods armed with monstrous weapons.

The Chinese still seem to adhere to the belief that the deadliness of a weapon must be in proportion to the savageness of its aspect.

Inside, there are spacious courts and well-furnished guest rooms, roomy apartments, and offices for the mandarin, as well as comfortable quarters for Mr.Jensen and his body of Chinese clerks and operators.

There is a pretty garden all bright and sunny, with a pond of gold fish and ornamental parapet.
