ON THE DESIGNING OF COTTAGES AND SMALL HOUSES


Type II has “a living-room with some modified form of grate inter-
mediate between cooking-range and sitting-room grate, so that a limited
amount of cooking can be done on occasion ; scullery with copper, sink,
and gas-cooker, and also a grate for drying purposes, or in the absence of
gas, a small cooking-stove. A separate bathroom would be provided,
usually on the ground floor, hot water being supplied by means of a boiler
at the back of either the living-room or the scullery fire. The w.c. would
be on the ground floor as before.” An illustration of this arrangement is
given on this page, and Type IIa contains the same accommodation, with
a parlour added (p. 19).
The contents suggested for Type III are “a living-room (provided with
a sitting-room grate) from which cooking operations are definitely
banished ; scullery (with copper, sink, cooking-range, and gas-cooker, if
gas is available) sufficiently large to enable all the work connected with
the cooking and preparation of meals to be carried on there ; bath upstairs,
hot water supplied from a boiler at the back of the scullery fire, w.c. in-
side, either upstairs or entered from a downstairs lobby.” Two plans
that fulfil these conditions are printed on page 20. The last Type,
known as IIla, and containing similar accommodation to Type III with
