Mr. Fred M. 

 Truex, of New 

 York, was the 

 architect of this 

 very interesting

The three houses

 selves, but are also 

 absolutely separate

 the other. The 

 artist brings to the

equipment of the 

 house a special feel- 

 ing for artistic fit- 

 ness, and a personal 

 note of comfort and 

 achievement that

 designed under such

 houses do not illus- 

 trate a definite tend-

 architecture, they 

 do indicate and ex- 

 press the tendency 

 towards excellence 

 and are worthy of 

 attentive study, and 

 will repay every at- 

 tention that is given 

 to them.
