About this title

Synopsis

Rustic charm meets 19th‑century design in the Highland Cottages at Roxbury

This collection presents the cottage views and ground plans created by Wm. Bailey Lang, offering a window into Elizabethan‑style cottage architecture as a lived project. The introduction explains the author’s aim to spark taste for rural architecture rather than provide exact building plans, while celebrating variety in country sites and the value of naming homes. Included are several cottages—Youle, Bute, and Glenn—each with a ground plan and notes on layout, warmth, and grounds. An observatory on the Bute grounds and additional outbuildings complete the project’s rustic landscape. The material combines sketches, commentary, and practical details to invite readers to imagine residential life amid gardens, porches, and green spaces.

The book emphasizes a domestic, aesthetic approach to country living. It acknowledges imperfections and speaks to beginners and enthusiasts alike, inviting readers to appreciate natural scenery and simple, well‑timed features in rural homes.

Learn why Lang chose names for cottages and how this tradition guided design and site planning.
See ground plans and descriptions for three distinct cottages with different layouts and features.
Discover notes on warmth, room arrangement, and how outbuildings contribute to the overall setting.
Explore the idea of an elevated observatory offering wide views of the surrounding towns and coast.

Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century rural architecture, garden setting, and the early American cottage vision.
