The Colonial is one of the most adaptable of architectural styles. Its details lend themselves to interesting appli¬ 
cation, irrespective of what compositional form a building assumes. This is pleasantly illustrated in the above. 
The main facade of the house bespeaks a formality that is entirely fitting. The same becoming formality con¬ 
tinues in the ordering of the three rooms that face the highway. Hollow tile, coated with white cement plaster, 
has been employed for the exterior wall construction. With decorative effect, spots of color have been introduced 
against the white background by tile that matches the warm red of the brick-paved terrace and porch. Ivory 
painted woodwork, dark green blinds and a green stained roof add their values to an ensemble of real attraction
