HOUSE AND GARDEN 
October, 1912 
In Mr. Baker’s house the architects have excellently coped with an irregular situation. The house fits naturally into the different levels, yet has 
a compact mass and a main outline undisturbed by cuts and breaks. The problem of saving the trees is beautifully answered 
A loosely laid brick walk running before the house 
lends a touch of warm color consistent with Colonial 
houses

At the steepest drop in the land the kitchen wing is 
placed with fine effect. It fits well and provides 
space for laundry, cold room, etc.
