"The lodge should not be so large or conspicuous as to be mistaken for the mansion, but should be more simple in its architecture, although according sufficiently with it to show its relationship. For this reason we build only the foundation of brick, while the first story is of less pretentious material. Here the simple clap-board construction appears; and to give it variety, and at the same time to show its connection with the mansion, the second story is covered with cut ornamental shingles, while the roof should be of slate. One of the most important requirements is, that there should be an agreeable effect of color. Let, therefore, the clap-boards on the first story be of French grey, a color harmonizing with the brick; the shingles buff; and if the house be well shaded, the trimmings might be of Indian red, with black chamfers. If there is not much shade, however, a kind of salmon color with Indian red chamfers would appear well; the roof to be of dark or red slate. The chimney being of red brick, unpainted, might be relieved occasionally with brick of a dark color, or even black."
