KNTRANCE LODGE.

Domestic Architecture ; a work 

 which displays great taste in 

 the elevations, but not suffi- 

 cient attention to comfort and 

 accommodation in the ground 

 plans. These we have altered 

 in the following figures, to 

 supply what we thought was 

 wanting in the originals. 



Fig. 233. shows the plan and 

 elevation of what would form 

 a very handsome gate lodge, 

 and serve at the same time as 

 a gardener's house. The porch 

 is seen at 6; c and e show an 

 open gallei-y or veranda, em- 

 bracing three sides of a school- 

 room, which is entered at d, 

 and adjoining which there is 

 the closet/. The kitchen and 

 back kitchen are in the centre 

 of the house, and require no 

 explanation ; g and h are the 

 two principal bed-rooms; i is an open gallery; and k a water-closet. 



Fig. 234. is a gate lodge, the upper part of which forms a prospect tower. 

 The gate and approach road are supposed to be on the right hand, and the 

 sleeping-rooms to be over the arch (under which there is a seat), and in the 

 lower tower. Such a lodge is pei-haps suitable for an entrance gate on an 

 eminence, where it may be seen from a great part of the surrounding country. 



Fig. 236., p. 381, shows two entrance lodges, and the gates between, designed 

 by the late Sir J. Wyatville for the entrance from Edensor at Chatsworth.

lodge to the entrance front 

 should display the features of 

 the grounds through which it 

 passes, to the greatest advan- 

 tage ; or, if there be no striking 

 feature worth looking at be- 

 tween the entrance and the 

 house, the road ought to pass 

 through a dense wood or a 

 grove. When it passes through 

 open park-like scenery, trees 

 should be sprinkled along it, 

 in such a manner as to form a 

 kind of running foreground, 

 both to what is before, and to 

 what is on each side ; and Mr. 

 Glendinning has shown, in the 

 Gardener s Magazine, a mode
