Figures 29 and 30, are plans for a larger house, which can have either of the elevations, Fig. 25 or 26, adapted to it. These also have a concealed staircase, for front and back use. If a nursery, or bedroom, is wished, on the ground-floor, the back parlor, _e_, can be taken; in which case, the closets, _i_, _i_, are very useful. To prevent noise from reaching the front parlor, two sets of folding-doors, each side of the passage, _o_, could be placed. With this arrangement, these rooms could be used, sometimes as two parlors, opening into each other, by folding doors, and at other times, as a nursery and parlor. In this plan, the storeroom, _h_, and china-closet, _i_, between the kitchen and eating-room, are a great convenience. Figures 31 and 32, present the plan of a Gothic cottage, which secures the most economy of _labor_ and _expense_, with the greatest amount of _convenience and comfort_, which the writer has ever seen. [Illustration: Fig. 31.] The elevation, (Fig. 31,) exhibits the front view. It has a recess in the central part, under which, is the door, with a window on each side of it. This forms a piazza; and into this, and a similar one at the back of the house, the two centre parlors open. [Illustration: Fig. 32.] In the centre of the house, (see Fig. 32,) are the two parlors, _b_ and _c_; the back one to be used as an eating-room. At X, can be placed, either a chimney, with doors on each side of the fireplace, or, (which is the most agreeable,) folding-doors, which can be thrown open in Summer, thus making a large saloon, through the house, from one piazza to the other. In this case, the parlors are warmed by a large stove, set near the folding-doors, which would easily warm both parlors and one or two adjacent rooms. In Winter, the outside doors, opening to the piazzas, should be fastened and calked, and the side entry, at _d_, be used. At _e_, is the nursery, with the bedpress, _g_, which, being closed by day, makes a retired parlor for the mother. At _n_, is the children's playroom and sleeping-room, adjoining the mother's room. At _k_, is the kitchen, adjacent to the eating-room, with the storeroom, _e_, and the closets, _m_, _m_, one for the eating-room, and one for the kitchen utensils. At _i_, is a parlor, which can be used for a study or library, by the master of the family; while the adjacent bedpress, _j_, renders it a convenient lodging-room, for guests. Another lodging-room, is at _h_; and in the attic, is space enough for several comfortable lodging-rooms. A window in the roof, on the front and back, like the one on Wadsworth's Cottage, (Fig. 33,) could be placed over the front door, to light the chambers in the attic. A double roof in the attic, with a current of air between, secures cool chambers. The closets are marked _o_, and the fireplaces _p_. The stairs to the attic are at _q_. By this arrangement, the housekeeper has her parlor, sleeping-room, nursery, and
