A LITTLE PORTFOLIO OF 
GOOD INTERIORS 
37 
The rooms shown in the Portfolio this month are from six different localities —• Detroit. 
Milwaukee, Chicago, Boston, New Haven and New York. They represent various types 
of architecture and decoration; but they prove that good taste is the solvent whatever the 
location and style. For further information write House & Garden, 440 Fourth Ave., 
New York City 
Tallmage & Watson, architects 
The architecture of this house, outside and in, is that generally termed 
"Plains,” a Middle West product of prairie environment. Its main character¬ 
istics are long horizontal lines—like the lines of the plains. Its interiors 
require at least some pieces of furniture especially designed on these lines 
Alter & Kahn, architects 
A corner glimpse of a Detroit bedchamber. Not 
the furniture nor the curtains are the reason 
for showing it, but the paneled walls with 
the closets set in and the doors concealed 
Schuchardt & Judell, architects 
One charge against the modern decorator is that she often banishes old pieces 
of furniture that are precious because of personal association. This is not 
always necessary. The living-room here—it is in Milwaukee—is comfortable 
and intimate; old furniture has been used, but it still is in excellent taste
