teen by seventeen, communicating with the 

 hall and the parlor, and also opening upon 

 the terrace, F. It has a recess, M, for a side- 

 board or a seat, a china closet, N, and is 

 connected with the kitchen by the large 

 pantry, K, which measures about six feet 

 by twelve, and is fitted up with shelves and 

 cupboard. The kitchen is fourteen by fif- 

 teen feet. G is the doctor's office, thirteen 

 feet square, which may be used as a library 

 under ordinary circumstances. L is a large 

 store-room fitted up in the usual way, and I 

 is a back stoop or entrance way to the 

 kitchen. The rooms in the kitchen wing 

 are not so high as those in the main house, 

 and the rooms over the kitchen are reached 

 from a landing in the staircase. These 

 comprise a bath room, T, fitted up with tub 

 and water closet, and two small bed-rooms, 

 W, W, for children or servants. 



O is the main hall of the second story, 

 from which the attic stairs rise in continua- 

 tion of the main flight, though narrower. P 



is a chamber, thirteen by fourteen, having 

 a dressing-room and a large closet opening 

 from if . R is a chamber over the parlor, 

 and of the same tize. S is fifteen feet 

 square, and has a dressing-room attached, 

 as well as a large closet. 



The third, or attic story, is in one large 

 room, though there is ample space for three 

 good chambers, which will finish about eight 

 and a half feet high. 



The first story is ten feet and eight inches 

 high, and the second nine and a half. 

 There is a cellar under the whole house, 

 with a stone wall and a brick underpinning. 

 The first floor is raised about five feet 

 above the grade, and below the brick work 

 is a banking surrounding the whole cellar 

 wall. The house is of frame, boarded and 

 clapbparded, and filled in with bricks, and 

 the roof slated. The finish is simple 

 throughout, but the whole house is a tho- 

 rough and substantial piece of work. It 

 was built by contract, at a cost of about 

 six thousand dollars, which may be varied 

 somewhat, depending upon finish, and com- 

 parative cost of labor and materials.
