CORNER COTTAGES
This cottage is an English architect's design for building on a corner section, although it would be quite appropriate for other locations as well. The first storey is of ledge rock or fieldstone. Stucco and half timbering . surface the second storey,
except for the gable ends, where roughly hewn boarding is used. 'Windows on the lower floor are square paned casements and on the upper the casements are diamond paned—carrying out a divergence of character which was begun by the use of different materials. The entrance is at the exact point where' the two wings of the house
meet. The left-hand wing is, on the first floor given over to a spacious living room which opens to a flagstone paved porch. Directly at the back of the entrance hall are the kitchen and a breakfast nook, while the dining room and an enclosed porch or sun room complete the complement of this
floor. The living room has three exposures and the other rooms have two. Three bedrooms and two baths occupy the second storey. One bath is located so that it can be considered ensuite with the master’s chamber or may be used by occupants of the other rooms. Each bedroom has windows on two sides and ample cupboard space.
