  HOMES 
  AND 
  GARDENS

  lines, 
  and 
  the 
  garden 
  forms 
  a 
  certain 
  axis 
  relative 
  to 
  the 
  

   house. 
  The 
  general 
  effect 
  of 
  the 
  combination 
  is 
  very 
  happy, 
  

   but, 
  of 
  course, 
  the 
  illustrations 
  given 
  herewith 
  do 
  not 
  afford 
  

   much 
  of 
  an 
  idea 
  of 
  

   the 
  way 
  in 
  which 
  

   the 
  surroundings 
  of 
  

   the 
  house 
  will 
  ulti- 
  

   mately 
  look. 
  

  

  The 
  design 
  of 
  

   the 
  building 
  itself 
  

   presents 
  an 
  unusual 
  

   combination 
  of 
  ef- 
  

   fective 
  lines, 
  excel- 
  

   1 
  e 
  n 
  t 
  proportions, 
  

   interesting 
  open- 
  

   ings, 
  and 
  telling 
  

   projections. 
  The 
  

   plan 
  is 
  arranged 
  on 
  

   the 
  elongated 
  type, 
  

   and 
  the 
  various 
  

   rooms 
  have 
  been 
  

   placed 
  as 
  they 
  have 
  

   been 
  required 
  bv 
  

   the 
  owner, 
  irrespec- 
  

   tive 
  of 
  the 
  exterior, 
  

   and 
  while 
  the 
  wishes 
  

   of 
  the 
  owner 
  should 
  

   be 
  the 
  first 
  consid- 
  

   eration 
  of 
  the 
  ar- 
  

   chitect, 
  for 
  a 
  home 
  

   is 
  primarily 
  a 
  place 
  

  

  The 
  Attractive 
  Entrance 
  

  

  The 
  main 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  house 
  and 
  stable 
  and 
  the 
  walk 
  to 
  

   the 
  court 
  and 
  terrace 
  are 
  built 
  of 
  hard 
  burned 
  sand-finished 
  

   red 
  brick 
  laid 
  with 
  Flemish 
  brick 
  in 
  white 
  mortar. 
  The 
  re- 
  

   in 
  a 
  i 
  n 
  d 
  e 
  r 
  of 
  the 
  

   buildings 
  are 
  cov- 
  

   ered 
  with 
  stucco 
  in 
  

   its 
  natural 
  gray 
  

   color. 
  The 
  trim- 
  

   mings 
  and 
  all 
  ex- 
  

   posed 
  woodwork 
  

   are 
  stained 
  a 
  soft 
  

   brown. 
  The 
  whole 
  

   building 
  is 
  sur- 
  

   mounted 
  with 
  a 
  red 
  

   tile 
  roof. 
  

  

  The 
  plan 
  of 
  the 
  

   house 
  is 
  peculiar 
  be- 
  

   cause 
  it 
  makes 
  no 
  

   provision 
  for 
  a 
  pi- 
  

   azza, 
  but 
  something 
  

   equally 
  good 
  is 
  pro- 
  

   vided 
  by 
  an 
  inclosed 
  

   loggia 
  at 
  the 
  rear, 
  

   facing 
  the 
  terrace. 
  

   The 
  design 
  of 
  the 
  

   interior 
  is 
  character- 
  

   i 
  z 
  e 
  d 
  by 
  simplicity 
  

   and 
  good 
  taste, 
  and 
  

   the 
  owner 
  of 
  t 
  h 
  e 
  

   house 
  has 
  lovallv 
  

  

  co-operated 
  with 
  

  

  in 
  which 
  to 
  live, 
  the 
  exterior 
  is 
  sometimes 
  sacrificed, 
  but, 
  in 
  the 
  architect 
  in 
  selecting 
  furniture 
  and 
  hangings 
  for 
  the 
  

   this 
  particular 
  case, 
  the 
  irregular 
  lines 
  have 
  formed 
  a 
  nucleus 
  building, 
  

   by 
  which 
  the 
  exterior 
  walls 
  rise 
  in 
  one 
  graceful 
  proportion. 
  The 
  entrance-hall 
  and 
  living-hall 
  are 
  trimmed 
  with 
  sawn
