House & G a r den 
The residence of Charles E. 
Dancey, Lynbrook, L. /., re¬ 
calls in its lines both Long 
Island and Pennsylvania 
Dutch proto-types. Their 
severity is relieved by the 
bay windows and batten 
treatment of the first floor 
The first floor plan shows a 
simple arrangement, with the 
added feature of a complete 
service stairs, giving privacy 
to the rest of the house. The 
porch has three areas—a 
breakfast porch, an open 
veranda and a sun parlor 
On the second floor a large 
master’s bedroom occupies 
the depth of the house. There 
are two other bedchambers 
and a bath, with an abund¬ 
ance of closet room which is 
created by the pitch of the 
roof as 'well as by the alcoves 
A hooded canopy over the 
main entrance, with fanlight 
and paneled door below, is 
reminiscent of Pennsylvania 
Dutch Colonial design. It 
makes a dignified portico for 
a small house of this type.
