American architects do not follow traditional styles slavishly. They interpret the styles' in the 
American architectural dialect. This residence in Pennsylvania, for example, has many charac¬

and the general feeling of the design. On the other hand, rough stucco and the stone laid up at

The contour of the land had much to do with the unusual 
shape of the plans. The service is placed' in a rear wing which 
has ready access to the dining room and breakfast porch. The 
living room and its porch occupy another whig. A feature of 
the dining room is a corner fireplace. The entrance hall and 
living room are on a level below the dining room 
On the second floor a great deal of space is given to the chil¬ 
dren: in the rear is a study and child’s bedroom, and in the 
front a bedroom and sleeping porch. The owner’s suite in¬ 
cludes a large bedroom with fireplace, a bath and a boudoir. 
There is one guest room and bath. Servants’ rooms are on the 
top floor, with service stairs separate from the family hall
