The explanations of the cuts refer to the house when it 

 shall be completed there is no extra room to be kept for 

 great occasions ; by removing the piazza on the side, and 

 building another wing, an extra parlor can be obtained, 

 which may communicate with the other by folding or 

 sliding doors if desired, and also a small office or library 

 communicating with this parlor and the bed-room. This 

 would give the exterior a more regular appearance. 



The bed-room is to be warmed by the pipe from the 

 parlor stove, passing through the false fire-place into a 

 sheet-iron dummy, and thence up through the room above, 

 which it would warm some, into the chimney. The cook- 

 ing stove might be placed in the room marked A., in cold 

 weather, the pipe passing through the room above into the 

 chimney. This would keep the house comfortably warm 

 with two fires. 



The pantry, cheese-room and cellar stairs, are placed 

 with a view to this arrangement, and the parlor and bed- 

 room are separated from this room by a passage, for the 

 same reason. 



In the ground plans, the doors are represented by fine 

 single lines, and the windows by double lines. The bed- 

 room window which opens on the piazza, should reach 

 down to the floor, as also the parlor window opposite the 

 steps. The stairs are crowded forward into the hall some, 

 to bring the landing at the top in the right place. They 

 are lighted at the top by an attic window at the end of the 

 central passage F. 



The windows of each room are made to look out to as 

 many points of the compass as possible, as it adds much
