R CM I P. ft H—li—J^ IV.—A PLAN FOR THEEE ROOMS, ETC. This excellent plan for a three-roomed cottage is borrowed, with modifications,Fig. 10. ^ . ,^.1, J from -pillage and Farm Cottages byCleveland & Back-us Brothers. It ex-plains itself; and weventure to say thata better arrange-ment of the sameamount of space cannot easily be de-vised. A plain butsubstantial and plea-sing little structureon this plan, withthe inside walls allneatly papered, aU)\v projecting roof,and plain hoodsover the windows,would cost, in thisvicinity, from $550to $650. The laundry and wood-room would naturally be covered by a lean-to roof, or they might be omitted. If a cellaishould be required, it migt be under the kitchen, and entereofrom the wood-room.
