The house crowns a 
hill that ivas lightly 
wooded, and to make 
it a part of the setting, 
the architect used the 
elements of stone, 
plaster and half-timber 
which were found 
thereabouts. The total 
cost was under $ 15,000 
Over - window decora¬ 
tions are rare in 
America, but their use 
on a stucco house is an 
unquestioned enrich¬ 
ment Combined with 
leaded casement win¬ 
dows, as here, they 
give the house a note 
of striking individu¬ 
ality 
Hand-hewn timbers 
fastened together with 
ivood pegs have been 
used throughout the 
house. They combine 
well with the red-tiled 
floors and the general 
sturdy lines of the ar¬ 
chitecture
