4—This House has a Low Roof and no Rooms on the Third Flocr 
dimensions and extends the 
entire depth of the house. 
It has a broad open fire- 
place with brick facings 
and hearth and a plain, Way Wc Dang Boo 
simple mantel of good de- AES 
sign. 
The dining-room, not 
quite so large as the liv- 
ing-room, occupies the op- 
posite side of the house. 
It connects with the 
kitchen through the but- 
ler’s pantry, which is fitted 
with drawers, dressers and 
cupboards. The kitchen 
beyond is trimmed with 
yellow pine, finished nat- 
ural and fitted replete. 
The second floor con- 
tains three bedrooms, each 
of which is furnished 
with large, well-fitted closets, and a bathroom; the latte1 
is furnished with porcelain fixtures and exposed, nickel- 
plated plumbing. There are two bedrooms and _ trunk- 
room on the third floor, while the cellar contains the heat- 
ing apparatus, fuel rooms and laundry. Cost five thou- 
sand dollars complete. Messrs. McIlvaine and Roberts, 
Land and Title Building, Philadelphia, Pa., were the archi- 
tects of this interesting house. 
It is seldom that a modern Colonial house follows in 
its treatment the old Dutch precedent so closely as the one 
erected for Walter Lloyd, Esq., at Montclair, New Jersey, 
and which is illustrated in Figure 3. The gable end is set 
close to the street, as was its prototype, while the real front 
of the building faces the side of the lot, thus obtaining a 
southern exposure, and overlooking a formal sunken gar- 
den. The underpinning, first story and chimneys are built 
of common brick, laid in Flemish bond in white mortar 
with “raked out” joints. The balance of the superstruc- 
ture is of frame, covered with ‘‘ship-lapped’’ hemlock 
boards, building paper and shingles 8 inches broad and 28 
inches long, three-quarters of an inch thick at the butts, 
and laid 12 inches to the weather. These shingles are 
finished with one coat of whitewash. The roofs are cov-

ered with regular 18-inch white cedar shingles, laid in 
5-inch courses and left to weather finish. “The remainder 
of the exterior woodwork is painted pure white, except 
the blinds, which are painted a dark green. 
Entering through the Dutch door, with its old-fashioned 
knocker and polished brass latch, one reaches the hall, 
which is a central one, trimmed with white pine and treated 
with white paint, while the doors are of mahogany finish. 
The stairs are of the Colonial type with threads and rail o1 
birch stained and finished in mahogany, and _ balusters 
painted white. The living-room and den are trimmed with 
white wood stained and finished in mahogany. ‘The for- 
mer has bookcases with paneled seat built in between the 
same, and an open fireplace built with brick facings and 
hearth and a mantel designed by the architect from a 
special study of old Colonial work. The den has a similar 
mantel. 
The dining-room is treated the same as the hall, with 
white painted trim, and mahogany doors. It has a large 
bay-window and a fireplace. The butler’s pantry is fitted 
with bowl, drawers, dressers, etc. The kitchen and its de- 
pendencies are trimmed with North Carolina pine and it 
has a dresser, closet, sink 
and a lobby large enough 
to admit ice box. 
The second floor is 
trimmed with white 
wood, painted white, 
while the balance of the 
house has natural cypress 
trim. The second story 
contains three bedrooms, 
dressing-room and a 
bathroom; the latter is 
furnished with porcelain 
fixtures and exposed 
nickelplated plumbing
