HOUSE AND GARDEN 
61 
one well sustained by luxurious foliage. 
The large groups of windows suggest and 
consistently demand wood paneled walls 
with a stained finish for the principal 
rooms and painted finish for bedrooms and 
service portions. 
9. Here an open hillcrest frontage with 
a falling-off wooded hillside to the rear 
affords a setting for a low, long, formal 
mass, with the rear stepped down into a 
formal garden contained among the trees 
and overlooked by a loggia extending 
across the rear of house. Again, only a 
suggestion of the Italian type asserts it¬ 
self by the white stucco exterior, tan- 
brown tile roof and blinds and entrance 
hood details. The exterior suggests by 
its first-story window grouping principal 
living-rooms of generous proportions. The 
use of both stained and painted wood in¬ 
terior finish is eminently fitting, and calls 
for rich and interesting furnishings and 
furniture. 
10. A supremely simple small stucco 
type with tile roof relieved only by a well- 
detailed entrance, flower boxes and bal¬ 
anced side porches. Its exterior, which is 
frankly two stories, expresses modest 
home comforts, and would lend itself to 
either the light painted or dark stained in¬ 
terior woodwork. This type could be ex¬ 
pressed in an all-wood exterior of wide- 
lapped siding or shingles painted white, or 
by the use of brick with white trimmings 
and shutters. 
11. A more formal balanced type of 
white stucco house, with light-brown tile 
roof and shutters to match in color, savor¬ 
ing of an Italian feeling by its simple 
mass, plain, low roof and arch motive 
lending an effect of height in first story. 
This type admits of the stained interior 
woodwork and the more heavy, substan¬ 
tial hangings and furniture. 
12. A small, balanced type of white 
stucco house, Colonial by suggestion in 
the detail of its entrance and side porch, 
and chimneys and form of roof and dor¬ 
mers. A type where adequate attic space 
lends itself to increased number of bed¬ 
rooms. It is essentially a house calling 
for white painted interior woodwork and 
mahogany furniture and simple, quaint 
window hangings. This design would be 
equally consistent in red brick, laid Flemish 
bond in white mortar, with white shutters, 
eaves, porches and window trim, or by 
substituting white shingles laid 10" to the 
weather, and green blinds. 
13. An irregular, simple, white shingle 
type, with green roof and blinds to match, 
designed in plan to be built in a group of 
two forming a balance by merely reversing 
same plan. The plan is such as to bring 
the ends of house containing service por¬ 
tions adjacent, thereby giving greater iso¬ 
lation to the living quarters. It is a dis¬ 
tinctly two-story house, offering all the 
varied adjuncts to home life. Simple, 
painted or stained woodwork interior 
finish are consistent with this type.
