Half-timber is one of the authen¬ 
tic styles for English cottage 
architecture. When it is honestly 
built, it lends a structure a de¬ 
sirable semblance of age and an 
interesting wall pattern. It has 
been effectively employed in the 
building of this small house at 
Greenwich, Ct. 
.4 feature of one of the faqades 
is the style in which the first floor 
stone wall is continued on to en¬ 
close the rear garden. A bay 
window built on a brick and 
stone base stands under the over¬ 
hang of the second story. The 
roof exhibits an inspiring sweep 
of multi-colored slate 
This cottage was originally built for the occupancy 
of the owner whilst the large house on his estate was 
being erected. It now serves to house families of the 
gardener and chauffeur. It is so designed that the 
erection of simple partitions makes a comfortable 
two-family house. The plans as shown would re¬ 
quire but little modification to make them suitable for 
a family of three or four. Ample service and porch 
space is provided. William F. Dominick, architect
