PLAN No. 3. 



This is designed for a gen- 

 tleman's suburban residence, 

 and embraces 100 feet front 

 upon the street with 300 feet 

 in depth of lot 



The ground plan of the 

 house is our own, and the 

 structure of it we design to 

 be of a plain substantial struc- 

 ture, with no attempt at 

 Italian, Doric, Norman, Gothic 

 Grecian or any other specific, 

 distinct order. Taking the 

 ground plan as presented, it 

 will be seen that we have not 

 made it to work from, for we 

 have not shown how closets 

 and shelves can be made and 

 incorporated in the walls with- 

 out disfiguring the rooms and 

 adding greatly to the expense 

 of construction. We design 

 it to have a basement for 

 coal, etc., and to be two 

 stories high, with a Mansard 

 roof as an attic, and we ad- 

 vise whoever may build from 

 suggestions herein, to have a 

 "Porte Cochen" or covered 

 archway, for the getting in 

 and out of the carriage. We 

 have made no provision for 

 the bath room on the first 

 floor, believing that should be 

 on the sleeping or second floor.
