Although the con¬ 
tour of the house 
is irregular, the 
plans show no 
waste spaces due 
to useless corners 
and unnecessary 
passages. Hall¬ 
ways are con¬ 
densed. Ample 
ventilation and 
light are provided 
for in all the 
chambers

Chiefly to its long, rambling form is due the pronounced 
English feeling of the architecture. The texture of the 
walls and the irregular fenestration add further interest. 
Four great chimney stacks give the atmosphere of 
solidity. The house sits well on the ground. Unity is 
given the group by the low, covered porch and a walled-in 
service yard, so that one pictures it as a whole

The fusion of styles without con¬ 
fusion is evident from this gar¬ 
den view of the group. Native 
stone and hollow tile formed a 
basis for warm toned plaster 
walls. The roof, which is tile, 
ranges from strong brown to a 
brown-red. Terrace and porches 
are paved with tile, and the 
wood trim is ivory. It will be 
noticed that the relative impor¬ 
tance of each unit in this group 
is symbolized by the variations in 
roof heights
