House & Garden 
The architect’s careful study of the 
texture and color of the materials, 
and the projections and reveals of 
cornices, motildings and surfaces re¬ 
sulted in some rather unusual shadow 
effects. This is especially true of the 
dining porch which connects with the 
terrace on the south overlooking the 
garden. Above, a loggia serves the 
double purpose of sleeping porch in 
summer and sun parlor in winter

♦ 
The house is built of local stone cov¬ 
ered with smooth plaster. Dressed 
surfaces of this stone appear in the 
base and at some of the openings, 
giving the fagade character and solid¬ 
ity. The architecture is generally the 
modern English country house style 
with Italian and French touches 
worked in. Every living room, except 
the service, overlooks the garden and 
enjoys the southwestern exposure, 
which is cool in summer and warm in 
winter. Large French windows and 
a general increase in fenestration over 
that on the north side can be noted 
on this fagade
