SOLON ROBINSON, 1845 



489 



By way of contrast to the manner of stabling horses 

 last described, 1 I annex a description of Col. Dunbar's 

 carriage house and stable, that will suit other latitudes. 



Carriage House and StabU —Fig- 12. 



The building is 40 ft. square, 10 ft. posts. The upper 

 end of the plan, figure 12, is the front end of the build- 

 ing, having a large window in the gable to put in fodder. 

 The carriage room A, is 20 ft. square, and has two set 

 of ten foot doors. Upon each side, B and C, are two 

 rooms ten feet square with outside doors, for saddles, 

 harness, and all kind of horse trappings. Back of these, 

 E and F, are two rooms of the same size, with outside 

 doors and doors opening into the passage G. One of 

 these is for corn, and the other for chopped oats, &c. In 

 one corner of this room the stairs H, open from the pas- 

 sage to the loft. 



The manger and feed boxes I, are along side of the 

 passage very convenient for feeding. The back end is 

 divided into stalls K, having each a door from outside.
