[Fig. 62- The New Gate Lodge at Blithewood.] 
The gate-lodge at Blithewood, on the Hudson, the seat of 
R. Donaldson, Esq., is a simple and effective cottage in the 
bracketed style — octagonal in its form, and very compactly

Nearly all the fine seats on the North river have entrance

pleasingly embowered in foliage ; but, occasionally, highly
