RESIDENCE 
OF 
MR. M. A. SELSOR 
This house, with its field stone 
walls, its long low roof, and 
its living quarters all on the 
ground floor, has endeavored 
to satisfy all the demands 
for comfortable, informal 
summer living. The living- 
room running right through 
the center of the house has 
no side windows, but may be 
opened at either end, per¬ 
mitting the breezes to sweep 
through its extent, and is cool 
and shady. The sleeping 
quarters occupy one end of 
the plan. Their capacity is 
increased by a commodious 
sleeping porch. The kitchen 
and its subsidiary rooms oc¬ 
cupy the other extreme and 
join a drying yard sur¬ 
rounded by lattice

Arthur Ware 
Architect 
The stone work is not finished 
off and the wide interstices 
between the rough stones give 
color to the surface. The 
long porch and terrace paved 
in brick is really an integral 
part of the living quarters, 
since life in the open air is 
one of the requirements that 
the architect had to provide 
for. One end of the terrace 
is built around an apple tree 
which sheds an agreeable 
shade over it. Provision has 
been made to allow the roots 
proper moisture and suste¬ 
nance. 
The roof projects over this 
terrace, making a vestibule 
porch of generous propor¬ 
tions protecting the entrance 
from direct sunlight 
Set in an old orchard the house appears to have grown coincidentally with the trees, and so happy is its treatment that the building creates a feeling 
of being part of the landscape
