A DESIGN FOR A HOUSE AT YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO 
The work of WILSON EYRE, Architect 
r ~P HIS design of 
1 picturesque and 
happily composed 
parts is intended for 
a town building-lot 
of considerable size. 
On one side the site 
is already bounded 
bv an avenue of 
trees; and on the 
other, its downward 
slope continues at 
a considerable angle 
into the lawns of 
neighbors. This fall 
of the ground has 
given cause for a 
terrace, upheld by 
retaining walls, and 
enclosing a garden 
of simple geometric 
design with a tank 
in its center. A 
lawn a hundred feet 
in depth is to remain 
at the front of the 
house and an equal 
space at the rear. 
The arrangement of 
double entrance 
courts, one of which 
is devoted to the ser¬ 
vice portion of the 
house, is particularly 
ingenious; and the 
wing containing the 
art gallery has been 
made important in 
the exterior, the flat 
roof being suited to 
lighting by means of 
skylights.
