CARRIAGE -HOUSE AND STABLE. 



One of oiu' correspondents suggests that as we have given various ground plans for 

 barns and stables, that we should give a plan for a stable and carriage-house — one 

 that shall be an ornament to the grounds, instead of an eye-sore, and at the same time 

 answer well the purposes for which such a building is needed. We therefore copy an 

 article from the Horticulturist^ with illustrations, which will perhaps come as near what 

 our correspondent wishes as anything we could give : 



" This stable is intended to produce a picturesque effect externally, and to contain 

 internally all the convenience demanded in a building of this class. The central por- 

 tion contains the car- o s o lo

riage-house, with space 

 for four vehicles, and a 

 harness-room at the 

 end of it. On one side 

 of this is the stable — 

 the stalls b\ feet wide, 

 with racks supplied 

 with hay through wells, 

 over each rack, in the 

 floor of the hay-loft 

 above. A flight of 

 stairs leads from the 

 end of the stable to 

 the hay-loft. above, and 

 is placed here, (and 

 not in the carriage- 

 house, as we frequent-

 prevent any dust from ouound i-lax. 



the hay-loft from finding its way into the carriage-house. Ou the other side of the 

 carriage-house are a tool-house and a work-shop
