=o Ole 
jacent =a and one notes how much more interesting the 
chalet-like house is for having its nearby garage and outside servant 
quarters designed along the same general lines, 
or the half-timber house for having its stable and : 
gardener’s cottage carried out in half-timber style 
likewise. The early builders in America had an 
eye for this sort of thing and planned their out- 
buildings to harmonize with their houses. One 
does not quickly forget the charm of the English 
village where its cottages present outbuildings 
usually in accord with their design, which pro- 
duces an aspect at once harmonious and attrac- 
tive. Of course, the material employed in build- 
ing the dwelling will often determine the group- 
ing of the outbuildings. A Dutch Colonial frame 
house, for instance, can properly be connected 
by covered passageways with the various out- 
buildings about it. One has only to recall Mount 
Vernon to bring to mind the successful arrange- 
ment there of the colonnades uniting the service 
wings. With stucco houses all the buildings of the 
yremises may properly be brought into relationship by actually con- 
1ecting them, whereas with the half-timber or even with the brick 
1ouse, the scheme of separated buildings is more pleasing to the eye.
