An interesting corner porch, with an upper 
balcony and a Germantown hood. George 
Spencer Morris, architect 
The old-time southern Colonial porch, extend¬ 
ing through two stories, is an expensive type, 
but unsurpassed for stateliness 
It is becoming increasingly common to have 
either an uncovered terrace or one that is 
shaded by a pergola 
If one can swmg out a generous octag¬ 
onal or circular corner, comfort is 
gained with less darkening of the 
first-story rooms 
Mr. Chauncey Olcott’s home at Saratoga Springs shows the 
modified Dutch Colonial type, where the long sweep of 
the roof comes down to cover the porch. Keen & Mead, 
architects 
The smalt stone entrance porcn marks 
the center of a long open terrace. 
Andrews, Jacques & Rantoul, ar¬ 
chitects. 
One too infrequently sees second-story 
porches such as this one. Myron Hunt & 
Elmer Grey, architects 
Many of the old Colonial homesteads had compara¬ 
tively small entrance porches, usually showing a 
wonderful delicacy of woodwork 
On this quaint Dutch Colonial house may 
be seen the prototype of such porches as 
Mr. Olcott’s above
