Hollow tile, coated with rough-texture 
white cement plaster, forms the exterior 
walls. Pleasing contrast is introduced by 
ivory-painted woodwork, stone foundations 
and solid, dark green shutters. A really 
novel note of effective exterior develop¬ 
ment is found in the roof treatment 
A COUNTRY COTTAGE 
OF COMPACT LINES 
WALLACE & WARNER, Architects 
On the first floor an hexagonal hall is cre¬ 
ated by the provision for a small corner 
closet and a diminutive passage leading 
to the kitchen. From this passage stairs 
lead to the basement, a door being located 
at the landing to permit convenient and 
ready access to the cellar from outdoors 
Although the roof is of shingles, it 
is as rich in color variations as 
though mottled slates had been used. 
Prior to their application to the roof¬ 
ing frame, the shingles were dipped 
in several different shades of green 
stain and then applied at random 
The upper floor is marked by rigid 
economy in the allotment of hall 
area and by a proportionate prodi¬ 
gality in closet space. In addition 
to the storage facilities on this floor 
is a large attic store room above. 
The plan is compact and livable
