Designs for Labourers' Cottages. 



Art. VI. Four Designs for Labourers' Cottages. By Mr. Richard 

 Varden, Architectural Pupil with John Perry, Esq., Architect, 

 Godalming. 



Sir, 

 The invitation you give to artists, in Vol. I. p. 354., to fur- 

 nish you with designs of various kinds, has induced me to 

 trouble you with a few sketches of cottages ; although, as they 

 are nearly the first attempt of a very young hand, I fear they 

 may not be such as to be of any service to you. Should 

 one among them be found worthy of a place in a Number 

 of your Magazine, I should feel myself very highly honoured ; 

 and, if not, I trust you will excuse the liberty I have taken 

 in laying them before you. Subjoining a few words in expla- 

 nation of the sketches, 



I remain, Sir, &c. 

 Godalming) Jan. 2. 1830. Richard Varden. 



No. 1. (fg'1 19.), a cottage of the smallest description, con- 

 taining a porch (a), tool-house (b\ pantry (c), living-room (d) 9 

 and bed-room (e), with a garret over the two latter apart- 

 ments. The walls of this cottage should be built in 14-in.
