52 HAND-BOOK OF PRACTICAL 



This plan is made to fit a corner lot where the streets do not 

 run at right angles with each other. The front is supposed to 

 be upon the main travelled street, and is 100 feet. The side 

 street, where we enter by carriage, may be new and as yet little 

 built upon, but time makes many changes. The depth of the 

 lot is supposed to be 200 feet, and while the ground plan of the 

 house shows the size and position of the rooms, no porch or 

 "Porte Cochen" has been planned, but any good architect can 

 add it, according to the style of architecture. In planning 

 the house, we have looked forward to the builder making it two 

 stories .high, with a basement or cellar -for storage. The barn, 

 20 by 40 feet, we leave for whoever uses this to arrange accord- 

 ing to his wants.
