TUDOR COTTAGE. 



"We here present a design for a country or sub- 

 urban cottage of stone. 



The situation most suitable for a dwelling of this 

 class would be on an estate where two or three 

 acres could be devoted to pleasure-grounds alone. 



In this case, we should have tbo 

 lawn — somewhat undulating, if 

 possible — surround two or three 

 sides of the house, leaving the 

 fourth for domestic purposes, con- 

 taining kitchen garden, orchards, 

 and the stables and other outbuild- 

 ings, and shielded from public 

 view by plantations of trees aind 

 shrubbery. On the lawn, which 

 should be surrounded by a border 

 of irregular plantations — with the 

 exception of openings left here and 

 there for agreeable distant views 

 — we would plant large trees and 

 shrubs, singly and in groups, and 

 so plant them as to bring into view 

 from the principal points pleasing 

 vistas, and hide those objects which 

 are disagreeable to the eye. 



We have supposed that the best 

 views of the surrounding landscape may be ob- 

 tained from the front entrance to the house, hence 

 we have designed the arcade to occupy tlrat posi- 

 tion, shielding the front doors, and at the same 

 time forming a very pleasant lounging place or 

 summer evening retreat. The double glaaed doors 

 open into a vestibule, 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, which 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 inches, and 

 lighted by a mullioned window in front, a large 

 bay on the side, and a window in the rear reach- 

 ing to the floor, and opening upon a veranda. No. 

 10. At the end of the hall, a door leads into the
