teen by fifteen, and E is a dining-room of the 

 same dimensions. Both of these rooms open 

 from the hall on the left. F is a small pantry 

 or passage to the kitchen. It is fitted up 

 with shelves for china on either side. The 

 kitchen is twelve by fifteen, and has a store 

 room marked G, and an entry H, leading to 

 the yard, which entry also communicates with 

 the front hall. 



The cellar extends under the main house, 

 but not under the kitchen wing, and has an 

 entrance directly from the yard, under the 

 back steps. 



The second story has four pleasant cham- 

 bers, B, C, D and H, and seven closets, five 

 of which are verj' large. A is the main hall 

 and K is the passage to the chamber over the 

 kitchen. Both stories finish nine and a half 

 feet high in the clear. The interior walls 

 and ceilings are lathed and plastered and the 

 wood finish is all of pine oiled. There are 

 three chimney stacks, so that every room has 

 means of heating. In truth, every room 

 should have an open fireplace, and in houses 

 which we design for the part of the country 

 where we now write, we always provide them, 

 being considered absolute necessities both for 



comfort and health, and particularly in the 

 sleeping rooms, which at night are usually 

 kept shut almost airtight in every other re- 

 spect. 

 This house would cost about $3500.
