Text Appearing Before Image:
BASEMENT ATTIC. 288 VILLAS AND COTTAGES. It is not desirable that the leading outlines of ahouse in such a position should be much broken; animpression of breadth and strength ought to be givenby the general plan and by the walls, and an over-shadowing, sheltering effect should be presented to theeye by the roof. Self-reliance, liberality, simplicity,and humility must be prominent characteristics in anyfamily that spends even a few summer months suc-cessfully in a mountain home ; and if such a residenceis to be specially adapted to its surroundings, it mustin some way or other be suggestive of these ideas. The vignette illustrates a design for a rustic bridgethat has been carried into execution in that part of theCentral Park in New York which is called the Ram-ble. DESIGN No. 28.—(F. C. W.)
Text Appearing After Image:
PLAN OF PRINCIPAL FLOOB. VILLAS AND COTTAGES. 291 DESIGN No. 28. (F. C. W.) STONE COUNTRY HOUSE WITH BRICK DRESSINGS. This design illustrates, so far as can be done by anengraving, the effect that may be produced by the useof rough stone for the general building material, andof brick for the quoins and dressings generally. Not having yet had an opportunity to construct acountry house in this manner, although an admirerof the combination and often recommending it, I haverequested my friend, Mr. Withers, to allow me to intro-duce into this work the accompanying picturesque ex-ample, which was built a few years ago, in accordancewith his plans, for a gentleman residing at ClintonPoint, on the Hudson River.
