86 COUNTRY HOUSES. <br />room. As it now stands, the portion nearest the bed-rooln <br />would make a second closet for the latter apartment. A large <br />brick oven is shown alongside the fire -place, the body of which <br />rrrns under the stairs. <br />9x10 1 9x14 <br />UPPER <br />ENTRY <br />13X16 I,BX 113X16 <br />15 <br />[Fig. 15. Chamber Floor.] <br />The second floor of this cottage, Fig. 15, gives a great deal <br />of sleeping accommodation for a dwelling of this size -no less <br />than five good bed -rooms.* Two of these bed -rooms are quite <br />large cottage rooms, 13 by 16 feet, and the others sufficiently <br />large for children. The neat little bed -room, A, with the <br />hanging window over the porch, though only 8 by 15, would be <br />a pretty apartment for the eldest daughter—where she would <br />have an opportunity to arrange her little cottage boudoir_ to <br />show her own taste. <br />By an error in transposing the drawing, the position of the Stairs in the Figs. 14 <br />and 16 do not correspond. The stairs in Fig. 15 shouldoccupy the space on the <br />left of the upper entry, where the closet now stands, instead of being on the right of i <br />the entry. <br />DESIGNS FOR COTTAGES. 84 <br />A cellar under the kitchen wing of this cottage would be <br />sufficient in cases. In this case, a good stone foundation, <br />3 feet deep, should be laid under the main building. <br />Variation in plan. As there is sufficient bed -room accom- <br />modation in the second floor of this cottage for most families, <br />the plan of the first floor might be improved by turning the bed- <br />room into a parlor. In this case the two closets, a, a (Fig. <br />14), may be dispensed with, so that the two rooms might <br />communicate by large doors—the closets being moved to the <br />entry space between the bed -room and the back entry, b, which <br />would no longer need to be lett open—this would leave an open <br />space with doors five feet wide at a, on one side of which would <br />be the front entry, d, and on the other, the altered closets. This <br />would give a much more spacious and agreeable, as well as <br />more airy and cheerful character to the principal rooms of this <br />cottage with no additional cost. <br />CONSTRUCTION. This is a wooden cottage, and the vertical <br />boarding already described is the mode adopted in covering the <br />exterior. The roof, which projects 3 feet at the eaves, is <br />supported on plain rafter brackets. <br />The porch, though simple, being somewhat novel, we give a <br />sectional working drawing (to the scale of a quarter of an inch <br />to a foot). This drawing shows the profile of this porch. Now, <br />in order to convey the proper expression of strength and <br />solidity, the perpendicular brackets of this porch, a, should be <br />made of heavy plank, not less than 4 inches thick, so that it <br />shall not have a meager and paltry appearance when ex- <br />ecuted; b shows the floor of the bed -room running, out in <br />the hanging window; e, the projection of the roof over this <br />window. <br />
