AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS

lines, and the garden forms a certain axis relative to the 

 house. The general effect of the combination is very happy, 

 but, of course, the illustrations given herewith do not afford 

 much of an idea of 

 the way in which 

 the surroundings of 

 the house will ulti- 

 mately look. 



The design of 

 the building itself 

 presents an unusual 

 combination of ef- 

 fective lines, excel- 

 1 e n t proportions, 

 interesting o p e n- 

 ings, and telling 

 projections. The 

 plan is arranged on 

 the elongated type, 

 and the various 

 rooms have been 

 placed as they have 

 been required by 

 the owner, irrespec- 

 tive of the exterior, 

 and while the wishes 

 of the owner should 

 be the first consid- 

 eration of the ar- 

 chitect, for a home 

 is primarily a place 



in which to li\ e, the exterior is sometimes sacrificed, but, in 

 this particular case, the irregular lines have formed a nucleus 

 by which the exterior walls rise in one graceful proportion. 



The Attractive Entrance 



The main part of the house and stable and the walk to 

 the court and terrace are built of hard burned sand-finished 

 red brick laid with Flemish brick in white mortar. The re- 



m a i n d e r of the 

 buildings are cov- 

 ered with stucco in 

 its natural gray 

 color. The trim- 

 mings and all ex- 

 posed woodwork 

 are stained a soft 

 brown. The whole 

 building is sur- 

 mounted with a red 

 tile roof. 



The plan of the 

 house is peculiar be- 

 cause it makes no 

 provision for a pi- 

 azza, but something 

 equally good is pro- 

 vided by an inclosed 

 loggia at the rear, 

 facing the terrace. 

 The design of the 

 interior is character- 

 i z e d by simplicity 

 and good taste, and 

 the owner of the 

 house has loyally 

 co-operated with 



the architect in selecting furniture and hangings for the 

 building. 



The entrance-hall and living-hall are trimmed with sawn
