HOUSE AND GARDEN 
June, 
1912 
The inspiration of this house came from the Colonial farmhouses, and it preserves all the utility in space and light that was theirs, while avoiding 
their uninviting coldness 
The ell on both floors is devoted to 
the service department 
A HOUSE AT GLENCOE 
ILLINOIS

architect 
Although there are but three cham¬ 
bers, two bathrooms are provided 
The end of the house faces the street, and both its entrance side and the livin: 
room side are made equally presentable and attractive 
Restraint and simplicity characterize the living-room; the only 
semblance of adornment is the built-in book shelves 
Rough plaster in a neutral tone is the dining-room flnish. 
What woodwork there is, is in white enamel
