ENTRANCE LODGES AND GATES. 1001 1792 Fig. 1793 is a view of a lodge in the Grecian style; and fig. 1794 is its ground plan, in which the line of fence, a, and the gateposts, h, are shown at some distance from the 1793 dwelling. The view is taken fi-om the interior of the park ; and the gateposts, though of masonry, and forming with the trees one general composition with the lodge, are yet not architecturally connected with it, and do not form an architectural composition. 1794 Fig. 1795 is a view of a Swiss cottage as an independent lodge; and fig. 1796 is its ground plan. It will hardly be supposed that a cottage of this description could lead to a villa in the same style; because the style itself is not adapted to large buildings. The preceding Design, however, being in a style rf Architecture adapted to large buildings, might very reasonably be considered as a prelude to a Grecian house. The preceding six Designs are by the distinguished Architect who contributed to us the plan of his own nlla. Design III.' § 1746. Fig. 1797 is a geometrical elevation of a cottage lodge in the Old English style; and fig. 1798 is its ground plan. This Design, having two porches, a, b, would form a very excellent lodge for placing between two gates, to two small villas ; a practice which is sometimes adopted in the neighbourhood of large towns. There is a bench, c, placed outside, which serves as an. apology for the canopy which projects over it, and which adds to the harmony of the elevation. The tiles of the roof, it will be observed, are of different forms, arranged in the manner recommended by ]Mr. A^arden, § 759. This Design is by Mr. Lamb, and would suit his very elegant Gothic villa, fig. 1C46.
