The style of architecture is a rural domestic gothic. The accommo- dations will be readily understood from the plans. If built on a side-hill, where a room above ground, opening towards the sun, could be obtained, and with the cellar in the rear, a very compact and roomy little house would be the result. Design No. 9 shows a small cottage, with ample accommodations, which will be noticed by referring to Plate. The entire cost of the house, in any location, would be comparatively small. The style of the roof has greater merits and more economy of inside room than the universal “ Mansard,” so called, which is now on the decline in the vicinity of New York.
