AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



January, 1908 



A Dutch Cc 



Englewood, 



By Martha 



(HE interesting country 

 house built for Frederick 

 S. Duncan, Esq., at En- 

 glewood, is a recent addi- 

 tion to that group of 

 suburban houses within 

 the confines of that de- 

 lightful city, and as a whole exhibits an 

 interesting expression of the modern do- 

 mestic architecture of this particular class. 

 Mr. Duncan's house presents the suc- 

 cessful treatment of a site which, in itself, 

 offers many advantages upon which the 

 architect naturally seizes. The style chosen 

 was of the Dutch Colonial. The house 

 stands some distance from the road, and is 

 approached by a driveway coming in from 

 either end of the property and winding its way to the front door. The front of the house is marked by an entrance porch, while the 

 living-porch is at the side. The detail of the front porch is excellent, and carries out the feeling which is found among many of the old 

 Colonial houses. The foundation walls are built of red brick laid in red mortar. The superstructure is of wood and is covered with 

 matched sheathing, good building paper and shingles; the latter are stained a silver-gray color, and the trimmings and blinds are 

 painted white. The roof is also covered with shingles.
