 dows, with which the ex- 

 terior walls are pierced. 

 The house is of frame 

 construction covered with 

 metal lath and finished 

 with a triple coat of ce- 

 ment stucco, tinted a light 

 yellow. The trimmings 

 are painted brown and 

 the roof is covered with 

 shingles, stained a red-

 house is similar to the 

 plans shown in Figures 

 6 and 7, belonging to 

 the house shown in Fig- 

 ure 9, with the exception 

 that there are no bay 

 windows at either the 

 first or second stories of 

 this house. The versa- 

 tiUty of the architect is 

 again very well ex- 

 pressed, for he has been 

 able to design a dis- 

 tinctive exterior for 

 a similar plan. The 

 halls and living- 

 rooms are trimmed 

 with oak, stained 

 and finished in a 

 forest-green. The 

 fireplace in the liv- 

 ing-room is built of 

 buff Roman brick 

 with the facings ris-

 four feet, at which 

 line it Is finished 

 with a mantel shelf. 

 The walls are cov- 

 ered with a two- 

 toned brown wall- 

 paper, with a large
