House & Garden 
•rrsarFsrs sjg ?. .L 'r s . 
A garden loggia of distinguished architectural lines de¬ 
serves a wide approach of easily ascended stairs and a 
heavy background of well-planted trees. This desirable 
treatment is found at Welton House, Wilts, England, 
the seat of the Earl of Pembroke 
An excellent example of the Italian courtyard or patio, 
as it would be called in Spanish architecture, is found 
in the Villa Dante Alighieri, near Florence. It is 
entirely surrounded by an open loggia on the second 
floor 
The patio of a house lo¬ 
cated in the north must de¬ 
pend upon sturdy vines 
and potted plants for its 
effectiveness. The latter, of 
course, are taken indoors in 
winter 
The lines and spirit of an 
Italian loggia have been 
reproduced in this house on 
Lake Michigan. The hand¬ 
ling of the awnings is espe¬ 
cially interesting. Charles

The openings of the loggia 
should command some gar¬ 
den or countryside vista, 
the arches and pillars 
framing the view beyond.

True Italian construction 
is found in this loggia sur¬ 
rounding the courtyard at 
the home of Francis L.
