Cottage residences; or, A series of designs for rural cottages and cottage villas, and their gardens and grounds . SEC. FLOOR Fig. 38. BASEMENT. Fig. 30. kitchen, laundry, store-room, and cellar.

The outer entrance to this storyis by the steps descending under the veranda, indicatedon the left of this plan. COTTAGE I^ESIDENCES. 93 The cMmueys in tliis elevation are bold aucl striking,and show what would be in good keeping with the styleof the house. Their construction is simple. They areeach covered on the top by two flat coping-stones, of boldprojection, the smoke escaping on two sides (Fig. 42).Chimneys built in this manner are much more likely todraw well than those with an open top, in the commonmode. This form, however, is not by any means essential,and square flues in a body, with a bold cornice supportedon bricks projecting as brackets, or separate detached fluescarried up in chisters, with heavy tops, would also besuitable for a building in this style.
