Farm Cottage. 



211 



The elevation exliibits an agreeable diversity of form. We 

 have the balcony window, the dormer window, porch over princi- 

 pal doorway, and lastly, that indispensible "belonging, " the ver- 

 anda. 



It is the inside of the building, however, which puts forth the 

 most potent claims for observance. 



In the first place, there is a large kitchen, 16x16 feet, which has 

 communication with the yard, dining-room, and hall. It also har- 

 bors those important items, closet, sink, and store room. 



The dining room is still larger, being 16x18 feet ; besides con-

 kitchen it admits 

 you to the library 

 and hall. The 

 library is 16x12

 parallel with the 

 hall is a double

 ascent, we arrive at the sleeping rooms, which are six in number, 

 of the following -dimensions, viz : 14x11, 14x12, 16x12, 16x15 feet, 

 and two rooms of 16x1 feet each The upper hall also contains a 

 bathing-room, and clothes closet. The three large bed-rooms are 

 likewise supplied with closets. 



The material for this cottage may be wood ; the ornament is per- 

 fectly simple, and within the elaborating abilities of an ordinary 

 carpenter — not that we would advise the non-employment of com- 

 petent architects , but in many localities they are not to be pro- 

 cured. If desired, the chimney stacks could be built of brick, of
