Hunt on Picturesque Domestic Architecture.

PI, III. A Gate Lodge. One sitting-room, and one small bed-room with 

 a campanile over containing a prospect seat. There is not a closet, porch, 

 lobby, shed, cellar, or convenience of any kind. 



PI. IV. A Dairy and Game- n.<M;v/;&.. 56 



keeper's DweUing. The ele- 

 vation is handsome, and, on 

 the supposition that the dairy- 

 maid is a single woman, a sit- 

 ting-room and bed-room may 

 be sufficient for her. 



PI. VI. A Small Residence, l^ 

 or Superior Gate Lodge, {fig. 

 36.) The elevation (a) very 

 handsome ; but the plan all 

 porch ■and gallery {bed e.)\ 

 It might easily be altered. (/^ 

 g h i k.) 



PI. VIII. Gate Lodge. The 

 elevation simple, but grand 

 and architectural in form and 

 dimensions ; the interior ac- 

 commodations mean, and not 

 what one would expect from 

 the exterior. 



PI. IX. Prospect Tower, 

 Garden Seat, and Apartments 

 for a Gamekeeper, or other 

 out-door servant, {fig- 57.) The 

 elevation bold, striking, and 

 picturesque ; breadth and simplicity of effect injured by the two small open- 

 ings under the cornice {a), but the plan, as usual, without sufficient accom- 

 modation, and totally desti- 

 tute of convenience. Had 

 what is wanted been added, 

 the elevation of the back 

 might have been as handsome 

 as that of the front. 



PL X. A Bridge. A brfdge 

 carrying a summer house, or 

 billiard room, with jets d'eau, 

 terminating the four abut- 

 ment piers. Decidedly in the 

 worst taste of any design in 

 the book, because a hetero- 

 geneous mixture of ideas ; a 

 prostitution or degradation of 

 one of the noblest objects of 

 the art of the architect, be- 

 cause the most important in 

 its use. (See Gard. Mag.vol, i. 

 p. 286.) 



PI. XI. A Small Villa. The 

 elevation handsome, and the plan commodious. Here our architect is at 

 home, and leaves us only the agreeable duty of commendation. 



PI. XII. A Casino. The elevation symmetrical, but to our taste rather 

 formal or deficient in variety for the Italian style ; the plan good, and the 

 accommodations suitable to this style of residence.
