A VILLAGE OR FARM COTTAGE. 



BY II. W. CLEAVELAND, W. AND S D. BACKUS, NEW YORK. 



In another place we have given a brief review of a volume 

 just published, entitled "Village and Farm Cottages," con- 

 taining designs for houses of moderate cost. By the kind- 

 ness of the authors we are enabled to give one of their 

 designs, which will convey a good idea of the character of 

 the work, and its adaptation to the wants of a large class of 

 our population. — Ed. 



1. A VILLAGE OR FARM COTTAGE. 



The arrangement of the house before us, (fig. 1,) needs 

 some explanation. The stairs, starting just back of the par- 

 lor-door, on the right side of the hall, land on a platform, six 

 feet above the floor, from which they return over the bed- 

 room closet. At the rear of the landing, a partition crosses 

 the hall, with a door at the side of the staircase. The cellar 

 flight, starting in the back hall, goes down under the main 

 stairs, that part of it beyond the platform being incased.
