PRIVATE 



Two Interesting Houses 



QUITE one of the most unique houses we have 

 built in many a day, is the one with the 

 shingle-thatched worlsroom, on the grounds of 

 Geo. Marshall Allen, at Convent, N. J. Frederick 

 Parker is the gardener. You may happen to know 

 him and his wire hair dog. 



Being located on a steep grade, it was possible to 

 have an upper and lower level. 



The lower one was ideal for the boiler-room, and 

 ample space under the greenhouse for storage. 

 The reason the gable entrance is left up high and 

 dry, is because of the intention to later on add 

 another compartment, same size. 



The one erected for A. H. Bull, at Elizabeth, N. J., 

 we show because it is one of those thoroughly prac- 

 tical houses 18 feet wide by 50 feet long, that so 

 many want. 



It is our new Semi-Curvilinear Construction, 

 accounts for the attractive curve of the roof. 



which 



It overcomes all the disadvantages, and takes ad- 

 vantage of all the advantages of the curvilinear and 

 curved eave houses. 



Our new Private Catalog is filled with interesting 

 subjects. Glad to send you a copy.
