HOUSE AND GARDEN 
July, 1913 
The first story of Mr. Lukens’ Dutch Colonial house is built of hollow tile covered with stucco finish. Above, the sides are shingles laid in broad 
courses painted white, while the roof is stained a dark green 
THE HOME OF MR. CHARLES K. LUKENS, CHESTNUT HILL, PENN. 
C. E. Schermerhorn and Watson K. Phillips , associate architects 
An interesting feature is the 
doorway, very simply 
planned, but effective 
The plan shows excellent pantry arrange¬ 
ments, a built-in refrigerator connecting 
with the outside porch 
1 he solarium makes a pleasant open-air room 
in summer weather. The floor is canvas 
covered, to be weather proof 
Adjacent to the house a small garage has been built, which in its white 
shingled walls and green roof is thoroughly consistent with the house 
Adding sash to the window openings of the screened porch makes it a 
winter bedroom; as it is it may serve as a sleeping porch
