DESIGN No. 7. VILLAS AND COTTAGES. 149 DESIGN No. 7. COTTAGE RESIDENCE. This design illustrates a cottage residence built for Mr. Wright, of Goshen. It was required that the kitchen and its accessories should be on the same floor as the living-rooms, but the house was not pro- posed to be of such a size as would warrant the erec- tion of a separate wing for this purpose. The whole building is, therefore, under one roof, and the kitchen is so placed that its contiguity to the principal rooms doe...s not interfere with the privacy that properly be- longs to the apartments in constant use by the family. A porch of brick, communicating by arched open- ings, with verandas on each side of it, forms the prin- cipal entrance, and opens on to a hall 8x15 feet six inches. This porch is so arranged that the arched openings at the sides can be closed with glazed frames in winter, and the central opening fitted with a frame and door, thus making a double hall, that is a great advantage in severe weather, as it prevents the ingress of a draught of cold air whenever the front door is opened, and offers a protection from storm to visitors while waiting for the servant to attend to the bell.
