We have thus particularized the Tudor mansion, because we believe that for a cold country like England or the United States, it has strong claims upon the attention of large landed proprietors, or those who wish to realize in a country residence the greatest amount of comfort and enjoyment. With the addition, here, of a veranda, which the cool summers of England render needless, we believe the Tudor Gothic to be the most convenient and comfortable, and decidedly the most picturesque and striking style, for country residences of a superior class.* The materials generally employed in their construction in England, are stone and brick; and of late years, brick and stucco has come into very general use. (* The residence of Samuel E. Lyon, Esq., at White Plains, N. Y., Fig. 55, is a very pleasing example of the Tudor Cottage. The seat of Robert Gilmor, Esq., near Baltimore, in the Tudor style, is a very extensive pile of building.)
