Cottage at Troy, New York

Previous - Next

Mr. Warren's residence at Troy, New York (Fig. 61), is a very pretty example of the English cottage, elegantly finished internally as well as externally. A situation in a valley, embosomed with luxuriant trees, would have given this building a more appropriate and charming air than its present one, which, however, affords a magnificent prospect of the surrounding country.
