NEW ENGLAND FARIMER. 



Oct. 



A LAEGE COTTAGE. 



We present another of Mr. G. E. Harney's 

 plans and perspectives of country or suburban 

 homes. Our object in giving these illustra- 

 tions is rather to afford hints and suggestions 

 to those who are considering the subject of 

 building, than to furnish working models. 

 There are peculiarities about the arrange- 

 ment of the rooms and in the form of the 

 exterior of this house which are worthy of 

 rotice. It was designed for a situation where 

 the best views of the surrounding landscape 

 were obtained from the front entrance to the 

 house; hence the arcade, No. 1, in the plan, 

 occupies that position, shielding the front 

 door, and at the same time forming a very 

 pleasant lounging place, or summer evening 

 retreat. Glazed doors open into the vesti- 

 bule. No. 2, on either side of which is an 

 arched recess for clothing, and in front a 

 Gothic 'arch divides it from the hall proper, 

 No 3, whi'h is 10 feet wide and 18 feet 6 

 inches long ; on the left, two doors open into 

 the drawing room. No. 4, measuring 15 feet 

 by 18 feet 6 inches, and lighted by a muUioned 



window in front, a large bay on the side, and 

 a window on the rear reaching to the floor, 

 and opening upon a veranda. No. 10. 



At the end of the hall a door leads to the libra- 

 ry. No. 9, 12 feet by 15, containing two closets, 

 with a recessed window between. No. 5 is 

 the dining room, 15 feet square, and opening 

 upon a back entry, No. 6. At No. 7 are the 

 back stairs above and below. No. 8 is the 

 kitchen, 14 feet 6 inches by 15 feet, containing 

 two large closets, in one of which is a dumb 

 waiter from the cellar kitchen. No. 12 is a 

 portico over the side entrance. 



The design represents a building of stone, 

 which material, however, is not estial to the 

 general plan or perspective of the house. The 

 second floor contains four large chambers, 

 with closets, a sewing room over the vestibule 

 and hall, &c.
