The 
EFFECT of VINES 
on 
ARCHITECTURE 
DWIGHT JAMES BAUM, 
Architect 
At the right a doorway is shown as it 
stood immediately after completion,and 
above as it stands now clothed in wis¬ 
taria. Care must be taken, however, 
to avoid smothering the architecture 
The most attractive of brand new 
houses stand naked and austere until 
they have been softened by the use of 
vines and merged into their surround¬ 
ings by discreet plantings of shrubs
