A breakfast porch and a large 
pantry afford accommodations 
not usually found in houses of 
such small size. The projec¬ 
tion of stairs into the living- 
room, however, is unfortunate 
THE HOME OF

MERION, PA. 
.Second ^ro[y Plan

Boyd, architect 
It is a relief now and then to 
get away from the American 
insistence for square-walled 
bedrooms and no jogs. In a 
small house of these lines such 
irregularities add much interest 
The exterior walls are red 
cedar shingles painted white. 
Comb-grained pine has been 
used for flooring throughout. 
On the first floor the wood¬ 
work is stained brown and on 
the second it. is painted white 
A DUTCH COLONIAL HOUSE AT 
MAPLEWOOD, NEW JERSEY 
Kenneth W. Dalzell , architect 
The variety of roof lines is espe¬ 
cially interesting. Thus the long 
sweep to the right and the 
adapted pent roof sheltering the 
spacious porch and long terrace 
The reception room-a cross be¬ 
tween a hallway and a drawing¬ 
room-when separated from the 
more distinctly living-rooms is 
always a very desirable feature 
The house is characteristic of the 
‘'Main Line’’ Philadelphia su¬ 
burbs-stone whitewashed, al¬ 
though details of treatment about 
the entrance are unusually good 
An abundance of windows on all 
sides adds to the livableness of 
the second story. The disposi¬ 
tion of the service wing creates 
a large hall and good closet room
