Victorian Dwellings for Village and Country (1885) - S. B. Reed
HOME.
ASBURY.
DESIGN I.
COSTING $700.
A NEAT one-story dwelling, originally designed as a Sea Side Summer Cottage. It is given the first place in this volume because of its low cost and adaptability to the wants of the larger number with limited means desiring and seeking houses of their own. Any man of average intelligence having industrious and frugal habits may possess and enjoy such a home at once, and realize a sense of independence and self respect quite unknown to the ordinary tenant. Instinctively walks, flower beds, shrubbery and grape vines are added to beautify and increase the value of such property, so that when the cottage is out-grown it will bring its cost to aid in the erection or purchase of a larger dwelling.
The plan on the opposite page shows the interior arrangement. The front entrance opens to a vestibule or small hall, and from it the two principal rooms, parlor and living room, are entered. At the rear is the bed room. A cellar with brick walls and outside entrance is built under the main part, giving ample space for a work room, fuel, etc. The foundations show two feet above grade, allowing space for suitable window openings. In all frame buildings for this climate, double siding is necessary to insure comfort within. Proprietors of estates desiring low-priced cottages for gatemen, gardeners or other help, will also be interested in this plan.
