This month the Group of Houses is composed of four selections from the Country Club 
District of Kansas City. The variation in both architecture and she is representative of 
that remarkable suburban development. One of the attractive houses possessed of distinc¬ 
tive architecture is the residence of William R. Jacques. It is of English cottage design, 
executed in rich cream stucco, dark brown trim and a shingle roof laid with rounded 
comers to simulate thatch. The planting of hollyhocks along the front terrace is particu¬ 
larly effective. Root & Siemens, architects

porch adds to the size of the living room
