The small house should not he simply a replica of a large house. It must depend on simplicity and compactness 
both for its exterior success and its interior livableness. In this case a cottage type of the simplest lines has 
been developed. A slight irregularity in fenestration together with the brick, trim of the entrance makes an 
interesting front facade. The proportions are graceful and the details refined. Shingle has been used to clothe 
the timber frame and the roof. The wide overhang of the eaves and the exposed modillions give a variety of 
shadows. The exterior is painted white , the shutters dull green and the roof shingles are stained dark gray

sleeping porch, a sewing room,

room. The windows of these 
are in the gables and at the 
back of the house, to the east
