DESIGN XXXIX.
WE close this series of designs with a very eco-
nomical little cottage, to which we request the at-
tention of the workingman who has the means to
build himself a snug little home. Less expensive
than the one we have just described, (fig. 167,) it is
almost as commodious and comfortable, and, with a
little piazza over the front door instead of the canopy
we have given, it would be almost as picturesque.
RooMs.-A small entrance hall A, contains the
stairs; it is about 6 by 12 feet, and affords access to
the living-room B, iGi by 12 feet, and to the best
room C, 10 by 17 feet. D is the kitchen.
Fio. 172.-SECOND FLOOR.
Fig. 172 exhibits the second floor; E is the stair
landing from which all the sleeping-rooms F are
entered.
ESTIMATE.-BUilt in the cheapest manner, with the
best management, this cottage may be finished for a
trifle over $300.
