below; also an open shed {g) W=^W^^ 2o0 



for fuel : j is a water-closet for 



men, and h one for women and 



children." The oven in the 



kitchen is sufficiently large to 



admit of its being heated with 



faggots. The roof of the lodge 



is covered with pantiles; but

 powerful and characteristic effect. 



The following designs, in the Italian style, are from Hunt's Picturesque
