A COUNTRY CLUBHOUSE THAT IS BUILT LIKE A LOG CABIN
WE have given the design of the Club-house at Craftsman Farms for the use of country clubs that may find such a plan desirable. As we use it ourselves, it will be the gen-
eral assembly house of the
whole colony, so planned that
meals may be served either in-doors or out on a big veranda, according to the weather, and where meetings, lectures and entertainments of all kinds may be held by the people staying at the Farms and accommodation provided for guests invited from the outside. For our own purpose, no form of building is so suitable and desirable as a low, roomy house built of logs, and we imagine that many a country club will find that similar uses and surroundings seem to demand a building of this character.
As will be seen by comparison of the exterior view of the house with the plan of the lower floor, there are threemain divisions in the building, indicated in the perspective drawing by the projecting ends of the logs which form the log partition between the reception room and sitting room

and kitchen on the one side, and serve as the outer wall of the house on the porch side. The width of this porch is the same as the width allowed for the sitting room and kitchen and the center of the building for the whole length is taken up by the reception room, which will be used for the assembly room or the indoor dining room, as seems necessary. The porch will be used as an out-door living room or dining room, as the case may be, and the little sitting room at the back is meant for guests who may wish some place apart from the general assembly room for a quiet chat with a few friends.
The upper floor is divided into guest rooms, with a comfortable sitting room for ladies
