Arthur Stratton · Series III. Square Plans

Plate XV. Small Square Plans

Plate XV. — The types shown in Nos. I and II suggest small features for the furnishing of streets, such as kiosks, shelters and ticket offices: they might also be used for lodges in certain positions. Nos. III and VI are suitable either for garden pavilions or for public shelters, while Nos. IV and V show the architectural treatment of a lodge either at the entrance to a park or in connection with a pleasure garden. In Nos. VII, VIII and IX are given types which are useful for terminating large enclosing screens such as complete the courtyards of public and other buildings where it is necessary for a keeper or a sentry to have a place of retirement.

Public-domain text (1925), transcribed from the archive.org OCR of the first edition and cleaned for reading: line-end hyphens rejoined, running heads, page numbers and the captions of the text figures removed, and obvious misreadings corrected. Stratton’s hundred plates are not reproduced, nor their engraved captions or the index to the illustrations; each Series is divided at his commentary on each plate, and the chapter titles follow the plate headings. The live figures are this book’s own.
