This cottage is a grade beyond the one just described, both in
appearance and accommodation. It is 20x16 feet on the ground, with a
rear wing 26x8 feet in area. The main body is 10 feet high, to the roof,
vertically boarded and battened. A snug, half-open (or it may be closed,
as convenience may require,) porch shelters the front door, 5x4 feet in
area. The cottage has a square or hipped roof, of a 30deg pitch from a
horizontal line, which spreads full two feet over the walls and
bracketed beneath. The rear wing retreats two feet from the wall line of
the main building, and has also a hipped roof of the same pitch as the
main one, with eight-feet posts. The open end of the wing advances 6
feet toward the front of the main part for wood-house and storage. The
construction of this is in the same style as Design I. The windows are
plain, two-sashed, of six lights each, 8x12 glass in front, and 8x10 in
the rear.
