 680 COTTAGE, FARM, AND VILLA ARCHITECTURE. 1425. Remarks. The ground plan of this Design was contributed by Mr. Taylor, and the elevation has been supplied by Mr. Robertson. The inn seems well adapted for country business ; liaving large rooms for meetings, a sjiacious covered yard for the protection of carriages of every description, and abundance of stabling. A large kitchen* garden v ill be required for such an establishment, unless there be a market-garden close at hand. Design II. — A small Country Inn, with Stabling, Skittle- Ground, Tea- Garden, and Bowling- Green. 1426. The Sitnation is supposed to be in a right angle, formed by the intersection of two roads, or by a branch from one road. The principal front, which is seen in fig. 1299, is to the main road; and the stables, carriage-house, and yard open to the cross or branch road. 1299 1427. Accommodation- In fig. 1301 is an entrance passage, a, which leads to a hall and staircase, out of which open two other passages ; that to the left, leading to the skittle-ground, i ; and that to the right to the yard, h, the tea-garden, t, and the bowling- green, s. Between the passage and the tap, c, is the bar, b, which is also very conveniently situated for observing comers and goers by the diflTerent passages, and to and from the kitchen, e. The bar, it is to be observed, has glass windows on three sides, and the upper half of the kitchen door, and of those of the passages, is also of glass. In the back-kitchen, /, is an oven. There are a wine and spirit cellar, g ; a brew- house, k ; beer-cellar, I; and cow- house, m; and these last three build- ings have a floor over them for malt, corn, hops, &c. There is a malting- house, »i, over which, at one end, there may be a kiln for drying the malt, or this may be placed in an adjoining building in the yard, ji. There is a stable for four horses, g ; a place for two carriages, r; a bowling-green; s, and a tea-garden, t, with a fountain in the centre, and five alcoves on the sides, m. The chamber floor, fig. l.'^OO, contains six good rooms, five of them witii fireplaces, and a water-closet. 1300
