 178 Sloan's Architectural Review and Builders' Journal. [Sept., of stairs which lead up to a gallery, extending immediately over the vesti- bule, the full width of the audience room. The central portion of this gallery will be devoted to the organ and choir. The material proper for the construc- tion of this edifice is stone, cut square, rubble fashion, with the face pointed off to an even surface. The whole of the weatherings, buttresses, caps, window- sills, ring-stones, coping, and kneelers, will be neat hammered work ; also the door-sills, steps and platforms. The cost of the construction of such an edifice — if carried out in accordance with the plan and design we have presented, and finished in every respect in an appro- priate, plain, but thoroughly substantial manner — would be about thirty thousand dollars. ($30,000.) DESIGN FOR A GATE-LODGE, OR A SMALL COTTAGE. WE here present an elevation and ground-plan of a small building which is either adapted for a gate-lodge, or for a small country cottage. In the latter case, we should recommend placing the entrance door, with a porch to front the road, instead of its present position in the engraving, which is more suitable for a gate-lodge, being immedi- ately in front of the entrance gates. The building — one and a half stories high — possesses very little pretensions to architectural style, but has an air of neatness and comfort, which would make it suitable for a small family of limited means, anxious to own a home, however humble. Entering the front door, we pass through a vestibule, D, which contains the stairs to the upper stoiy, and also leads into the living-room, A, 14 X 15 feet, with a bay-window facing the road-front. This room has a closet attached. A door leads into B, the kitchen, 12 x 12 feet, through which we pass into the pantry C, 6 x 8 feet. The height of this story is 8 feet. In the upper half-story, there will be two chambers immediately over the kitchen and the living-room.
