HOUSE & GARDEN 
STUCCO AND SHINGLES IN TWO SMALL HOUSES 
If you are going to build, by all means keep a portfolio of ideas—here a complete house, there a detail. 
It will help you and help the architect. These small houses are shown every month for that purpose, just 
as the Little Portfolio of Good Interiors on page 35-37 is designed to show how the interiors can be 
decorated. For further information write House & Garden, 440 Fourth Avenue, New York City

England residence shows the possi¬

environment. The arch entrance

hollow tile has been used in con¬ 
struction. The service portions, as 
shown by the plans, have been well 
restricted without sacrificing ease 
of access to them
