The home of William H. Orchard, architect, at Rye, N. Y., shows in its 
design the influence of the English cottage. The first floor and entrance 
extension are of old brick with broken headers, not laid in any partic¬ 
ular bond, but set more or less at random, to give a rough texture. Above 
this is stucco in natural color with its surfaces occasionally made irregular 
Two American Suburban Homes and the Third An 
English Seashore Place 
Porch, living and 
dining room occupy 
the front of the 
first floor. Service 
is in an extension, 
with a library placed 
in an inside corner. 
Instead of using the 
usual shrubbery, the 
front lawn is 
planted to berry 
bushes and fruit 
trees with an 
occasional birch 
The owner's suite 
consists of bath¬ 
room, bedroom and 
sleeping porch. Two 
other large bed¬ 
rooms and a bath 
complete this floor
