 1869J Descriptions. til 049 Figure 2. have its sleeping-i'ooms "within a Man- sard roof, or an ordinary attic. A design can readily be attached to the plan, affording ample accommodations for a family of from six to eight persons, at a cost not exceeding $3,500. Figure II is a plan, with broken outline, of about the same dimensions as Figure I. A is the Vestibule, six (6) feet by six. P is the Parlor, fifteen (15) feet wide by twenty-four (24) feet long, with a spacious bay-window on the side. C is the Dining-Room, fifteen (15) feet by eighteen (18) feet, with a bay- window, projecting three (3) feet, on the front. D is the Hall and E the Stair-Hall. F is the Kitchen, twelve (12) feet square. Gr is the Pantry, six (6) feet by six, opening from the kitchen and provided with a window. The communication between the Dining-Room and the Kitchen is across the stair-hall, beneath the stairs. This passage will be shut off from the stair- hall, by means of screen-doors, which will also form a sort of Vestibule for the Side Entrance of the Stair-Hall. H is the Front Porch. The Side Porch is unlettered, as is, also, the Rear Doorway to the Kitchen. This place is somewhat more expen- sive than Figure I, owing to the broken outline of the ground-plan, the two bow- windows, and the enlarged porch. As the other, it can be arranged in eleva- tion, for two, or three stories ; and, if extended, to accommodate a family of six or eight persons, would cost about $3,800. Figure III is much smaller, than either Figures I or II. The Parlor B and the Dining- Room C, communicate by Sliding-Doors. A is the combined Entrance and Stair- Hall, six (6) feet wide. B, the Parlor, is fourteen (14) by sixteen (16) feet. C, the Dining-Room, is fourteen (14) feet square. D, the Kitchen, is twelve (12) feet square. E, is the Kitchen Pantry, and F the Dining-Room Pantry. Gr is the Passage from the Kitchen to the Dining-Room, shut off from the Stair- Hall by glass doors. H is the Front Porch. An elevation can be designed for this plan, affording accommodation to a family of four persons, at an expense of $2,200, and, for a family of six, to cost $2,800.
