Here the architect
Did not with curio as skill a pile erect
Of carved marble, touch, or porphyry,
But built a house for hospitality.- Carew .
I.-A GOTHIC COTTAGE.
Fig. 40.

P ERSPECTIVE V IEW .*
THIS handsome cottage very appropriately commences the chapter and connects it with the preceding; the center being two stories in height, and the wings only a story and a half.
Its two verandas, its fine bay windows, its balcony, its handsome gable, and its grouped chimney stacks, give to this house an expression of simple elegance, combined with all the comfort and convenience that a cottage residence can well afford; and we are much deceived if this design do not prove a favorite among the patrons of our little manual.

F IRST F LOOR P LAN .
The arrangement of the rooms on the first floor is compact and convenient. The parlor, although not large, is a very handsome apartment, and is conveniently connected with the sitting-room, so that the two can be used en suite if necessary. A door opening from the sitting-room into the porch may easily be had if desired, but would render the room somewhat colder in winter.
