Excerpt from Cottage Residences: Or a Series of Designs for Rural Cottages and Cottage Villas, and Their Gardens and Grounds, Adapted to North AmericaMr. Hatfield has contributed a pretty design for a river cottage (see page Messrs. Vaux and Withers were the designers of Judge Monell's cottage, illustrated on page 206, and Mr. Arthur Gilman has given us the plans and views of his own house recently erected on Staten Island.The rest of the designs were all made by the editor, and all will, he thinks, give a fair idea of the styles and plans for cottages that are acceptable at the present day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
