It is a frame building, filled in with brick laid on their edges iu mor-tar, and covered externally with weather boarding; the roof coveredwith shingles cut in patterns. The framing may be of spruce or hemlocktimber (the former is the best, although the latter is generally used,) andthe finishing of white pine; the details few, simple, and bold, with theroof quite steep, and the eaves of broad projection to shield tlie sides, andthe windows wide and airy. A light ridge ornament at the peak of thejoof, a fluial of iron over the dormer, and the piazza railing of scroll-sawed penetrations, give a character to the design. The exterior should be painted of a warm, rich brown, or j-^ellowishbrown, using four tints, the brightest for the whole body of the house;the next darkest for the eaves, veranda, window-trimmings
