The Horticulturist and journal of rural art and rural taste . Fig. new of the old Farm Souse. Fio- 2 .-Pan of the old House, Making up our mind at once, what could took possession, surprising the owner evenbe dose with it, we made the purchase and more than we were surprised. Holo to Re-model an Old Farm House. Those who are suddenly turned out onthe world, in these days of scarce houses,or rather no houses, can appreciate such cir-cumstances. The main building, as represented by theheavy walls in the plan, we modernizedonly so far as to make it useful, and toharmonize with the necessary additions. In the parlor was retained all the original features : a moderately low ceiling, the oldfire-place, four by six feet, each jamb a solidblock of stone, and the deep windows, withtwenty-four panes of glass. The only changein the exterior was to project the cornicetwo feet on all sides, and to construct theDormer window to light the hitherto un-finished attic. A chimney was added, andthe roof entirely reshingled.
