A Smith's Cottage

[Connor David Quinn]

Picture:
Location: Outskirts of Dublin near the River Liffey
Detailed Description:

Cottage Facade: This building is a simple wooden structure with a single story and a triangular roof. The triangular wall beneath the roof contains a simple, round window, suggesting that the attic space has also been utilized. The cottage is in a state of disrepair, with damaged shutters hanging unlevel on the windows and a general unkempt appearance. The walls are white-washed and the building is covered by a simple thatched roof. In the back of the cottage, a forge has been set up. Shabby, unlevel wooden tables hold char-colored, old tools, and the forge is protected by a simply-constructed overhang consisting of a thatched roof and a simple wooden structure to secure it. The property is enclosed by a fence which is in an equal state of disrepair.

Cottage Interior: The main floor of the cottage is, at very best, nothing to look at. There are a few shelves that are simply planks fixed to the wall with no care to aesthetics or the levelness of the work. A crude wooden table sits in the center of the room with two empty barrels next to it, apparently serving as seating. The building contains unfinished cabinets holding different odds and ends used for cooking. There is a square hole in the ceiling in the corner of the room, and a crude-but-sturdy ladder leads to an upper room. The room contains a simple bed with tattered sheets, a relatively empty closet whose unattched door leans on the wall beside it, and a trunk that is in good shape, especially compared to its surroundings.

Land: There is a small vegetable garden on the property near the cottage, and - surprisingly - the garden is actually well-tended. The land is green and has an abundance of trees and shrubs.
