There was no effort made to give 
the house any especial ornamenta¬ 
tion, the architect and owner de¬ 
pending upon the discreet use of 
shrubs, vines and flowers to enliven 
the sparse lines of the New England 
facade and entrance. The garden is 
especially well maintained 
The second floor provides four bed 
chambers and two baths, all com¬ 
pactly arranged with ample closet 
space and good light and ventilation. 
It is an ideal plan for a family of three 
and one servant. A servant’s room 
and storage are found on the third 
floor. Julius Gregory, architect 
The modified New England farm¬ 
house type is a design that seems to 
fit well into the average small town 
or suburban environments. This de¬ 
sign was chosen for the home of 
J. P. Dargan, Jr., at Hartsdale, N. 
Y. The walls are white clapboards 
and the blinds painted blue 
Instead of making the hall the en¬ 
tire depth of the house, the architect 
has kept it half the depth, thus 
giving room for a large kitchen. The 
enclosed porch is fitted for all year 
occupancy, being equipped with 
screened casement windows and heat¬ 
ed with an open fire
