RURAL ARCHITECTURE. 



BY GEO. E. HAIiHTET, Cold Spring, X. T. 



DESIGNED AND ENGRAVED EXPKESSLY FOR THE NEW ENGLAND FAUMEB. 



No. 6.— A DOUBLE OR SLNGLB HOUSE. 



In continuation of our new series of plans 

 for moderate priced houses, suited either for 

 suburban or country residences, we present 

 the above design. Our readers can but ad- 

 mire the faithfuhiess with which the engraver 

 has brought out the ideas of the artist, and 

 produced a charimng realization of many a 

 one's dream of a cozy little home. 



This design represents an economical house 

 for a single family, which, however, may be 

 conveniently arranged for two families. In 

 the design for one family, A is a veranda 

 shielding the entrance. B is the entrance hall 



containing the staircase, and C the parlor, 

 fourteen feet by sixteen ; D will be the living 

 room also fourteen by sixteen, and E may be 

 used as a kitchen. It communicates with G, 

 a large wood-shed. F is a large store-room 

 ojjening from the kitchen also. In the second 

 story are three good sized rooms, beside a 

 small room over the store-room. 



The house is designed to be built of wood, 

 the frame being of spruce, boarded and clap- 

 boarded, and the roof boarded with hemlock 

 boards and shingled with sawed cedar shingles, 

 a portion of which may have lower edges cut
