21—The entrance, with low arch protecting the 
door, is suited for summer and winter uses 
especially good, indicating a feeling for concrete design in 
which economies of construction call for broad surfaces and 
concentrated window space. The hall, den and dining-room 
(Fig. 4) are finished in Flemish oak, with a rough wall cov-
