HOUSE AND GARDEN

No. 2. — A house on a hillside planned along Italian lines, a type permitting an 
irregular arrangement of rooms 
January, 1915 
No. 3.—An unbalanced formal type of white stucco. The interior arrangement 
shows rooms at different levels 
No. 4. — The general use of 
mullioned and transomed 
grouped windows suggests the 
rural English type. A house 
that could also have a brick 
and stucco exterior or half¬ 
timber and stucco 
tially a white house having 
outside walls of stucco, re¬ 
lieved by the application 
of trellis, as in this case, or 
of wide, coursed shingles 
painted white, with green 
blinds and green-purple, 
variegated slate or shingle 
roof as the dictates of in¬ 
itial cost might determine. 
A formal grass terrace and 
open lawns are requisite for 
its setting. Generous-sized 
living-rooms and enclosed 
porches on the ground 
floor obtain numerous bed¬ 
rooms and sleeping porches 
on the second floor, afford¬ 
ing all the requirements 
for the comforts of a 
growing family. White 
painted interior finish suit¬ 
ing the use of mahogany 
furniture would naturally be the necessary 
accompanying factor. Sliding sash di¬ 
vided into small lights are essential to this 
class. 
2 . An informal type, long and low on the 
No. 5.—Distinctly a house adapted for hospitality and social functions- — formal, balanced, of magnificent proportions. The large arch 
window group in the first story intimates an arrangement of large rooms with high ceilings 
front and well set upon 
stone walls and terraces on 
the garden side, echoing 
the Italian country villa in 
its arched loggia, white 
stucco walls, overhanging 
eaves and red tile roof. A 
wooded and picturesquely 
irregular hillside slope af¬ 
fording an open level ap¬ 
proach on the front, forms 
the site. This type permits 
of the irregular plan ar¬ 
rangement in the disposi¬ 
tion of its principal rooms 
and the use of stained in¬ 
terior wood finish suiting 
the inclination of rich wall 
coverings and oak or wal¬ 
nut furniture. Either slid¬ 
ing or swinging sash di¬ 
vided into fairly large 
lights are in order. 
3 . An unbalanced, for¬ 
mal type of white stucco 
house with tobacco-brown 
blinds and shingle roof, 
which by its simple mass 
classical entrance and 
flanking arched loggia, 
is probably more remin¬ 
iscent of the Italian than 
of any other style. All 
this is adjusted to an ir¬ 
regular, densely wooded 
hillside by a stepped ter¬ 
race at entrance and a 
garden outside of the 
loggia. Here the design 
suggests that the prin¬ 
cipal rooms are at dif¬ 
ferent levels, affording 
interest in their relation 
to one another. Stained- 
wood finish, together 
with painted finish, are 
equally possible and fit¬ 
ting. 
4 . An informal type,
