The art of fair building represented in the figures of several uprights of houses, with their ground-plots, fitting for persons of several qualities : wherein is divided each room and office according to their most convenient occasion, with their heights, depths, lengths, and breadths according to proportion : with rules and directions for the placing of the doors, vvindows, chimnies, beds, stairs, and other conveniencies ... : also a description of the names and proportions of the members belonging to the framing of the timber-work, with directions and examples for the placing of them / by Pierre Le Muet ... ; published in English by Robert Pricke ...

The Division of the seventh Place, of thirty eight feet of breadth or there∣about, and of depth an hundred feet.

THis Ground-plot hath but one only Division, because that all the change which can be made therein, may be reduced to two precedent Figures. It hath therefore thirty eight feet of breadth upon an hundred of depth, and consistt in two bodies of a Building; the first on the Front, whose breadth is divided into a Kitchen of fourteen feet broad upon twenty deep, and a Stable having equal dimensions with the Kitchen, and a passage for a Coach between the two nine feet broad. Next followeth the Court, being thirty feet deep upon twentie eight broad, and the rest of the breadth upon this whole depth is imployed in a Stair-case, which hath nine feet of breadth, and in a Larder of the like breadth, upon seven feet deep, joyn∣ing to the Kitchen.

The principal body of the Building, which is on the back part, consisteth in a Hall being twenty five feet broad upon twenty two feet deep, and in the rest of the breadth is a Cham∣ber or little Hall, between which and the Stairs there is a Passage of four feet, at the bottom of which the Privy shall be placed. In the rest of the depth shall be a Garden, into which they shall enter by the hall, or by the little hall, as they please.

The story above hath the same divisions with that below, except that on the Front of the body of the building over the Stable is a Chamber, upon the Passage a Wardrobe, and upon the Kitchen a Closet.

It will happen sometimes, that the Ground-plot proposed shall have more breadth then that aforesaid, and less depth then shall be requisite to frame two bodies of a building, in the situation wherein they are in the Figures precedent, and then the Order must be changed ac∣cording to one of the manners which shall be set down hereafter.

The going down to the Cellar shall be made under the Stairs, as well in the principal body of the building, as in that on the front; and if one would have it so, on the side of the street under the Chimney of the Kitchen.
