The design of Laboures' Cottages (Architectural Competition)

PRIZE DESIGNS FOR LABOURERS’ C0TTACES - The Local Government Board for Ireland recently offered prizes for labourers' cottages adapted to the particular needs of the Irish labourer and planned in accordance with the most recent ideas prevailing in connection with the carrying out of the Housing Problem. Today we illustrate the three premiated schemes. The cost was strictly limited to £130 per dwelling. Mr Sydney Moss won the first prize, Mr J Roseman Burn the second prize, and Mr T. M. Deane. of Dublin, was placed third. The drawings given have been supplied us by the Local Government Board, and each sheet contains various items of information, with full dimensions and qualifying notes, which render the illustrations very complete. The available scope within the restricted means incidental to cost is naturally extremely limited as to picturesque treatment. [Building News 24 May 1907 p 719] 

Mr. Sydney Moss, of Rochbank, (sic) Eccles, has won the first prize of £50 offered by the Local Government Board for Ireland for designs of labourers' cottages suitable for rural districts. [Building News 1 March 1907 page 329]
