A SMALL HOUSE FOR COUNTRY OR SEASHORE 
Unusual in Plan and Design and Moderate in Cost 
FOLSOM & STANTON, Architects 
In a day of small house mediocrity, 
this diminutive home lays just claim 
to interested attention. While red 
brick has been freely employed, the 
design is developed in white painted 
shingles. In architectural charac¬ 
ter, although American, the house 
shows the English cottage svirit 
The first floor plan shows a living- 
room built around a central chimney 
with dining-room to right and three 
bedrooms and bath. The inner halls 
lead to the balcony shown below. 
Thanks to liberal fenestration, the 
house is well lighted and ventilated 
upstairs and down 
The two-storied living-room is unusual—a successful combi¬ 
nation of English and Colonial usages. The woodwork is 
white with mahogany trim and the ceiling dark, oak-stained 
timber. The chimney balcony is a new note 
While separated from the house by a wall, the garage is an integral part of 
the scheme, another expression of the compactness of the plan. The case¬ 
ment windows add appreciably to the exterior. These and the eaves carry 
on the English cottage spirit, a scheme well adapted to an American setting
