House & Garden 
The RESIDENCE of 
WM. J. McCAHAN, JR., Esq. 
MOORESTOWN, N. J. 
C ontinue d the 
depth of the 
house, a great, 
low-ceiled living 
hall forms ' a de¬ 
lightful feature of 
the first floor.

vidual axis, the 
three other rooms 
that go to make 
up the main body 
of the house 
As America has for her ancestry and traditions the best 
blood of a dozen other nations and their lore, it is only 
natural that these merged inheritances should be re¬ 
flected in the architecture of her homes. In this example 
there is a pronounced English feeling, but there is more — 
in the color and texture of the walls is an echo of the 
Spanish Missions, and in the long dormers a Dutch note 
Architectural consistency should 
be on axiom of country house 
building, if not by unity of ma¬ 
terialsat least by harmony of 
general lines. This is especially 
true of the gar rgr. such an im¬ 
portant modern structure as to 
deserve more than the mere hap¬ 
hazard treatment generally ac¬ 
corded it. Although the garage 
and stable in this group are dis¬ 
tinct from the house, they are so 
placed that they form a _ part of 
the general scheme
