The entrance in this 
instance took its note 
from, the design of 
the latticed walls. It 
is of green lattice on 
white trim. The en¬ 
trance is si i g htly 
arched. Much of its 
success, of course, 
depends upon the 
vines and the foun¬ 
dation planting in 
the immediate neigh¬ 
borhood. Kelley d

DOORWAYS of DISTINCTIVE 
CHARACTER 
A study of the pediment of this Ger- 
mantoivn hood shows what character it 
gives the entrance. Other photographs 
are found on pages 44 and 45. C. E.

The details in this 
doorway will repay 
consideration. First 
there is the dressed 
stone trim, contrast¬ 
ing with the rough 
laid walls; then the 
shingled hood with 
its supporting beams 
and corbels of heavy 
timber; finally the 
little casement toin- 
dow with the slate 
ledges and white 
trim, harmonizing 
with the white wood 
casing of the door. It 
is upon the perfection 
of such small details 
that the success of a 
house depends.

Street entrance set in 
the intersection of 
an ell is often found 
in the design of Eng¬ 
lish country houses 
and their American 
adaptation. Here the 
cornice board has 
been developed into a 
shingled hood cover¬ 
ing the rough stucco 
entrance. The round¬ 
ed top of the door 
gives relief to the 
severity of the 
straight lines. Sin¬ 
gle square panes 
break the door itself. 
A brick platform 
ivith stone coping 
adds dignity to this
