Recent Designs in Domestic Architecture
COTTAGES NEAR PORTSMOUTH
BUILT FOR THE ADMIRALTY

our readers. The two pairs
of rural cottages shown in
our coloured illustration
have been designed as
“standard” dwellings, and,
as a matter of fact, have
been repeated in various
localities besides the one
stated, and in both oases the
full accommodation required
by departmental report has
been provided. The internal
accommodation can be seen
from the plans facing the
illustrations. The cost of
erecting the first pair in the
country was ^275 with all fittings complete, in-
cluding external sanitary arrangements, etc. The
other pair cost a few pounds less when carried out
entirely in concrete (walls and roof) by Messrs.
Cubitt of Gray’s Inn Road. In quality of work-
manship these cottages are far ahead of most of
the so-called “ ideal ” cottages or villas of the
speculative builder. The pair of cottages built for
the Admiralty near Portsmouth cost ^(310, special
conditions and additions being specified in this
case, but neither here nor in the case of the other
two pairs were any extras incurred.
Scholarships in Black and White Drawing.
At the Chelsea School of Art carried on at the
South-Western Polytechnic, Manresa Road, two
scholarships, each of the annual value of ^24, are
awarded to enable students to study illustration
work, the course of study being so arranged as to
lead directly to the execution of saleable com-
mercial work. The scholarships are known as
the “ Christopher Head ” scholarships ; they are
open to all, and have few restrictions attached to
them.
