The black lines show the original designs of the house, which is composed of a base three rooms and then kitchens. Afterwards the system is to divide the three big rooms into small partitions, a room thirty feet long by sixteen wide would divide into eight smaller rooms. The average height of each room is fourteen or fifteen feet then admits of a sort of loft being built within the room which is divided into partitions similar to the floor below, under these circumstances there would be sixteen partitions in each room each inhabited by a separate family.

This is a linear ground plan of one of the rooms and kitchens. Dotted lines show in both plans how the partitions are arranged, and how a common passage is made for the use of those inhabiting the partitions leading to the kitchen and staircase which is common to all. The windows in front of this staircase form the means of ventilation in front, the door leading into the kitchen and the air hole in the kitchen roof leading into the next floor kitchen in the case of the first and second stories and into the open air in the third and the narrow chimneys are the means of ventilation at the back. It will thus be seen that very little, very little indeed, is the amount of pure air that gets into a house of this description. The front rooms vary in length from 30 to 60 feet; they are rarely wider than 16 feet. The kitchens are about 6 feet by 10 feet. The average height 14 feet. In one of these rooms 30 feet by 16 feet divided as described from 24 to 50 people, men, women and children included live. In a house of this description I have seen 170 pigs kept, besides the above mentioned number of people.
