Description
An account of the resource
Two drawings envision " a design and plans for a farm-house of the rural gothic style, with conveniences for an estate of considerable size." This would have placed the renderings toward the beginning of that style's popularity, which also was called "carpenter's gothic" for the relatively free on-site improvisations using gothic elements. For example, while the architect acknowledges preferring "stone or brick for the construction of such buildings, yet as there seems to be such a prejudice in favor of wood...we have designed the above to be built of that material."
The home's design shows a first floor of quite opulent dimensions; however, it is of potential interest due to its mention of a second floor that "contains seven good-sized bed-rooms, with their necessary closets. Those in the L being entirely distinct from the main body, and reached by a different flight of stairs, may be used for servants and hired men." Given the construction estimates for "the neighborhood of Boston," though, it seems doubtful whether many such estates were built on working farms.

A name given to the resource
Laborer's Cottage
Description
An account of the resource
A letter to the editor of <em>The Genesee Farmer</em> claimed that the "drudgery and discomfort to which farmers’ wives and daughters are subjected" was even greater than the wives of laborers and mechanics. This was because farm women were responsible for "boarding and lodging large numbers of <em>hired men</em>" (Hill, "Laborer's Cottages--Farmer's Wives," <em>The Genesee Farmer</em> 19.1 (Jan. 1858): 16. Regardless of the writer's accuracy, he proposed housing hired farmworkers in small cottages as the solution.<br /><br />Directly borrowed from A.J. Downing's <em>T<a href="https://archive.org/details/architecturecou00downgoog/page/n88/mode/1up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he Architecture of Country Houses</a></em> (1850), two renderings depict a modest structure containing a living room, pantry, three bedrooms, and a cellar. Its advantage was that a farmer "can employ married men and have them board themselves"--or more accurately their wives would. He claimed it would attract better hands and provide more comfortable accommodations for hired workers. Still, the focus was upon the expense, work, and ethnic distaste on the farmer's end: "we heartily desire the emancipation of farmers’ wives from the slavery of ‘keeping Irish,’ or Dutch, or even Yankee ‘boarding houses.’
