PROBLEM I 



A Comprehensive Layout for a City Property, by 



Sibley C. Smith, Landscape Architect, 



Providence, R. I. 



This property is located at Providence, R. I. Its dimensions 

 are 140 x ZOQ feet 



npHE development of this city lot illustrates the 

 -^ comprehensive use that can be made of a 

 small piece of ground. The house stands in the 

 very center of the property. There is a drive on 

 the north side which passes right by the entrance 

 porch. On the east a shrubbery-bordered lawn 

 makes a pleasant outlook for the living room. On 

 the south the conservatory leads to the terrace 

 and to the flower garden. On the west in back of 

 the house is the laundry yard and next to it the 

 stable court, which connects with the drive again. 

 The various parts are united and framed in by a 

 wall built around the entire property. In this 

 way privacy and seclusion are obtained in the very 

 midst of the city.
