Plan of a Double Collage, 

 56 



The smaller cottage would do for a man and his wife with- 

 out children. It has a lean-to behind for the wash-house {e) 

 and wood-house (/"), and an oven by the fire, and pantry 

 under the stairs {g). 



The cottage is supposed to be built of stone or brick, or if 

 of both the more picturesque. The string course over the 

 door and window of the smaller house might be a row of 

 projecting bricks. The upper story of the fi'ont table 

 is supposed of wooden framework, filled up with brick or 

 plaster, and is for effect. The framework might be made 

 of the thinnings of fir plantations squared. The windows 

 are supposed to have stone mullions ; but wooden mullions 

 might be made like the stone ones, as seen in old houses.
