Italian Villa, with Campamle 



Opposite the drawing room is the library, a cosy, pretty room, 

 12x16, and in the rear of that is a very snug kitchen, also 12x16. 

 Appended to the dining room and kitchen will be found a good 

 supply of closets, store-room, sink room, porch, etc. 



The second floor plan 

 is also conveniently ar- 

 ranged, giving a very 

 large room, suitable for 

 a supper room in case of 

 an evening entertain- 

 ment, or serving as a 

 bedroom for all the young 

 children, or the master 

 or mistress ; three other 

 bedrooms 12x16 each, 

 two very large and two 

 smaller closets, and an 

 excellent bath room with 

 water closet, &c., &c. 

 Each of the four bed- 

 rooms is provided with 

 an open fire place, so es. 

 sential to aid in a proper ventilation. The very large bedroom 

 can readily be divided into two, or even three, good sized rooms, 

 should the requirement of any family make it necessary. The 

 turret or third story of the tower affords another good room 9x9, 

 which may be used for a sleeping apartment or otherwise. It is 

 presumed to be airy, and to afford an excellent view of surround- 

 ing objects. 



In many localities a house of this description would be con- 

 structed with basement rooms, in which case the kitchen and 

 breakfast room would probably be immediately underneath the 

 rooms now designated respectively kitchen and dining room, leav- 

 ing those rooms to be used for different purposes. This plan is 

 adapted to the use of wood or rough brick, stuccoed. If of the 

 former, the frame should be filled in with coarse brick, and the 

 outside sheathed smoothly. Sliould brick be used, hollow walls 

 covered with brown stucco will admirably answer. The spac6 

 in the v/alls will not cause the house to be dry, but will make it
