A Farm House and Farmery suitable for a Farm of from Three Hundred to Five Hundred Acres in France, 1834.
Part 1: The Object and General Arrangement.
The object of the following Design, which is taken from the work of Morel-Vinde´, is to show what is considered by one of the first agriculturists in France a model farm house and farmery for a large farm. Like all Morel-Vinde´'s designs, it will be found to be the result of much consideration, both in point of arrangement and accommodation, and of economy of constructions; altogether it is eminently worthy of imitation, in countries where small timber forms the principal building material.
General Arrangement.. The farmery with its different courts, yards, and gardens stands on a space of about two acres: the general appearance is as in fig. 996, [above] and fig. 997 [left] is the general ground plan. This plan is arranged in four divisions. In the first may be seen the dwelling-house, a; an open shed on posts, b, under which linen is washed and dried, and maize, tobacco, onions, herbs, and various other garden productions are hung; the kitchen-garden, c; and part of a large pond, d u, for supplying water for washing, for watering the garden, &c. The second division contains a large building, including a barn, stable, and cow-house, e; stands for ricks, f; plots of turf, g; and oblongs planted with apple and pear trees for cider and perry, h.One of many farmhouse plans from Loudon's Architecture, Book 2.1. |
