BOOK OF. § PREFACE. 1 *[N preparing the following collection of designs, we have not so much % intended to offer new and original studies, as to make a compilation from various published works. As the name implies this is a “Specimen Book of Architectural Designs.” Each design is suggestive and Of value in itself and together they probably offer a larger opportunity of selection, for the price, than any work published ; being in fact an epitomé Of almost all recent Architectural publications. In several cases descriptions have been given and in some specifications and bill of materials; where cost has been given our purpose has been to avoid underestimating, and at the present low cost of building, the work can in many localities be executed at less than the estimates here given. \Ve believe this collection will be Of great practical value to those contemplating building or remodeling. For the convenience of the reader who may wish to execute any particular design, we have in every case named the work from which each example has been taken, and can invariably supply the publication referred to. For the designs of Mantels and Furniture shown on Frontispiece and pages 65—68, we are indebted to Warren \Vard & C0., manufacturers of Artistic Furniture, of this city, who have had these designs engraved expressly for this work. This little book will, we think, be especially valuable to two classes: Those who Wish a home, and those who build for the purpose of‘in- vestment. To the former the present low cost of material and labor offers an opportunity of building and furnishing a home such as may not occur again in a life-time. To the latter an opportunity of securing an invest- ment superior to almost any now offered. With many thanks to our patrons for their past generous appreciation, and with a full determination to merit a continuation of the same, we remain, Yours to serve, A. J. BICKNELL & CO.

HE designs on pages 5, 7 and 8 represent three cheap but at the same time tasty and convenient country cottages, for men of moderate means. These designs are shown on plate I, Bicknell’s “Village Builder and Supplement.” The estimates. in work named, of the cost of these buildings, are : for Fig. 1, $750; while if the design of Fig. 3 be used, ' $1,000, and for Fig. 5, $1,2bo. These p'rices, however, do not include the cost of cellars, although in many localities they could now be executed, including cellars and everything com- plete, for prices named. The scale of the draw- ings is i in. to the foot. Fig. 2 is the ground plan, and requires no particular explanation. The second floor plan would contain the same , - number of rooms, and of the same size given on Fig. 2, except as they would be reduced by the necessary closets.

Thus while it is true geometrically that a circle encloses the greatest amount of space with the least length of boundary, it is not true architecturally. Led astray by the obvious correctness of the mere geometrical part of the proposition, certain reformers at one time carried the principle to an extreme, and we had a very loud and per- sistent advocacy, not only of square houses, but of those of which the ground plan was in the form of an octagon, the nearest practical approach to the circle. But practically it was found that mere quantity of cubic contents is not the only thing that is required. Avail- ability is quite as important as quantity, and hence it is found that convenience and utility, as well as appearance, are promoted by a departure from the bare rectangular form. The accompanying design illustrates this point very well. By abandoning the old “ dry goods box" style, the arrangement of the rooms and their individual comfort and convenience is greatly increased, while to the appearance of the whole there is- given such character and picturesqueness as will add greatly to the value and attractiveness of the property. A spe- cial and somewhat new feature is the location of a conservatory in front of first landing of stairway in octagon end at the right and dressing-room below. The library is in the rear of main hall, and at the right of back hall, which includes the back stairway. The parlor occupies the front of the house at left of hall, with dining-room, butler's pantry, store room, china closet and dumb waiter in the rear. The plan is arranged for kitchen in the base- ment, although it can easily be included on principal floor if desired. The second floor contains three bedrooms, bath-room, and five closets. Two or three rooms may also be included in the attic plan. The estimated cost in vicinity of New York is $4,000, although in many sections it may be executed at a cost of $3,000 to £43,500.

It should occupy a some— what spacious lot, and be so situated as to give the dining and sitting rooms a cheerful and sunny aspect, and secure the front entrance against the penetrating blasts of winter. The principal hall is spacious, having no stairway to obstruct it. The interior finish should be in keeping with the general design; the roof can be of tin or slate, the latter being, of course, far preferable and the cheapest in the end. This house was erected some time since at a cost of $10,000, but with the present low prices of materials and labor could now be built at from thirty to forty per cent. less. Full plans and elevations of this design, drawn to an eighth-inch scale, are given in the “Village Builder and Supplement,” a work containing 77 plates of practical designs, sent free of charge to any address on receipt of ten dollars. .

The lower floor is devoted to the parlor, dining- room and kitchen; the parlor has a bay window, facing the street; the bay window on the right opens from the dining—room; the kitchen is immediately back of the hall, and has an entry to the rear and a door entering the dining—room. Two windows light the kitchen—one on the left, not shown in this view, and the one to the left of this view, looking toward the street. On the upper floor there are three chambers and one bed—room, well supplied with closets. This design can be executed at an expense of from $2,000 to $3,000, according to locality and style of finish. The plans and elevation of this cottage are represented on an eighth-inch scale in the Supplement to‘ “ Village Builder,” a work containing IS practical designs, mainly in the French style.

Mr. \Voollett, in his book on “Villas and Cottages, or Homes for All,” describes a villa of frame structure designed for erection on a stone foundation, with cellar, with heavy sill, corner posts, girts, and plates, and filled in with brick. The house being intended for a central location between other buildings on a lot of moderate width, has a nearly sym- metrical front. Individuality is given to the details by using panels and bands covered with cut shingles, instead of clapboards on rough boarding. The roof is also covered with shingles, and both those of the roof and band are painted in deeper tints than the main wood-work. The finish of the interim is to be in white ash and butternut. There are four good- sized rooms and pantry on the first floor, the parlor and dining-room being at the left and the sitting-room and kitchen at the right side of the house. All these rooms are well lighted, airy, and cheerful. The second story contains four bed chambers, bath-room, and three large-sized closets. The estimated cost of this house was $8,000, in I876, but at the present reduced prices of labor and material, could now be built for about $6,000. This cut is reduced from design 4, \Voollett’s “Villas and Cottages,” where are also given the first and second story plans, drawn to scale.

The upper portion of this fire-place has the brick-work exposed, the lower portion being encased for mirror, &c., and above the mirror a small sconce mirror. As will be noticed, the doorways into the principal rooms from this hall are without doors; a curtain of heavy material, hung to a rod with rings, forms a means of shutting off the View from the Hall when desirable.

E give on the following page an elevation for a city store front; it is arranged with an important and conspicuous flight of stone stairs to the’upper stories. This gives picturesque— ness to the facades and increases the importance of the whole upper part of the building. This is one of the constructive fea— tures which, instead of being ignored or hidden away, is made to play a prominent part in the architectural treatment. It is the same with the girder over the broad store front; this is made to look like iron, since no other material used in a horizontal mass will satisfy the necessity of supporting the brick-work above. This girder, with its broad bearings on the substantial bracketed piers, gives a gratifying sense of security. These features, although purely constructive, can be made as rich with appropriate decora- tion as the mass of meaningless features so often seen. The almost invariable absence of any apparent means of sup— port for these broad arches so frequently occurring in store fronts of late, leaves an unpleasant feeling of insecurity, although we know that in most, if not in all of these cases, the arch has ample .invisible means of support in the way of iron ties, or arched iron ‘ girders concealed by the masonry. In these days of so much sham building, straightforward dealing with honest construction will give the beholder at once a comfortable sense Of substantial security, and help to raise archi- tecture to its proper position in the arts.

It is intended to be built of stone or brick, with cut-stone dressings, although the same design might be carried out in wood. The entrances are numerous and conveniently arranged, as well as amply large. In the front is a vestibule, 9 feet wide, extending entirely across the building, containing four entrances to the audience room, as well as the stairs to the small gallery above. The audience room is 60x70 feet, with a chancel 20 feet wide at the end opposite the principal entrance, containing the pulpit or any other arrangements which denominational peculiari— ties might require. There are 136 pews on the principal floor, with five sittings in each. The organ is on one side of the chancel, and on the opposite side is a minister’s retiring room. Access to the audience room is also had through vestibules on either side, and these vestibules communicate with the vestry and committee rooms. The vestry is 40x48 feet, the committee rooms each 18 X 20 feet, communicating with each other by folding or sliding doors, and also with the vestry by means of sliding sashes in addition to the ordinary doors. Above the committee rooms, and reached by an ample flight of stairs from the vestibule below, is an additional room for the use of the ladies of the society. All these various rooms should be abundantly lighted and well ventilated. The expense of the building would 'of neces- sity vary much with different localities, and with the amount of cut stone used upon the exterior; but under favorable circum— stances it might be built of stone for about $20,000. ‘ , é f2 - ~¥ VONET-HUNDRED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS. 43 ‘3‘ ”y. - M . i g m». ; m ~va ,, ‘ .x =.:;/lf‘:j"(2‘_ -.< 2x ”83%" ‘ . um Z71plates.

HE dwelling shown on the following page was erected at % different periods; the main building in 1868, and the later additions, consisting of laundry, dining-room and dinner- service rooms and pantries, in 1870, making a I6—roomed villa of superior accommodation. In remodelling, many difficulties were surmounted of an architectural and constructive kind to obtain that complete unity of style apparent now. This is emphatically a modern homestead, as every appliance for making the house service systematic, safe and pleasant was employed here. The materials of construction were wood, the frame sheathed and felted, the roof slated, and the interior finish tasteful and sufficiently elaborate to harmonize in character with the style of the house. A stable called a “cottage stable” was enlarged at the same time, and a gas-house built, with fixtures for lighting the dwelling. The cost of the first con— tract was $8,000; of the second, $6,000; and of the third, $4,000. The same could now probably be executed complete at a cost not to exceed $8,000 to $10,000.

It would be very suit- able for a gate-lodge, or a seaside or summer cottage, and would look extremely well among the trees of a camp ground. The living room is of good size, well lighted by a square bay window. The kitchen is well sup- plied with closets. The second floor contains three bedrooms, very conve- niently arranged, and each provided with a closet. The two downstairs rooms and the large front bedroom are supplied with open fireplaces, the value of which for ventilation is so often overlooked in cheap houses; besides this, there should be ventilating tubes or shafts in the chimney side, with registers opening from each room, thus insuring a good system of ventilation. The roof should be ventilated by openings under the project- ing eaves. The estimated cost of this building is from $1,200 to $1,500, according to locality and style of finish. “he make this selection from Bicknell’s “ Cottage and Villa Architecture,” one large quarto volume, 66 plates, including specifications for frame and brick dwellings, price $6.00, where may be found the plans of this design drawn to scale. 64 BICKNELL & c0.’s SPECIMEN BOOK OF French-Roofed House, with lower.

After many years' use in this country, the Chimney Tops of the GARNKIRK FIRE CLAY COMPANY have been found to resist the action of coal gas, and of wet and freezing weather. They all tend to improve the draft: and those marked as Windguards are especially useful where, with the wind in a certain direction, there is a tendency to occasional pufis down the chimney. Their use makes the chimney a pleasing feature of a dwelling, and in many cases, at a cost no greater than that of common brick—work. To give the best effect, the brick—work should be built up a short distance above the roof. The tops may be set on the bricks in cement or mortar, but it is better to let them into a stone cap made to cover the brick- work and project over it. Pattern Sheets will be sent on application.
