When Simplicity is the 
Architectural Keynote 
— there is no building material quite as suitable as 
stone. There is undeniable charm in stone walls of mel¬ 
lowed color tones partly covered with Ivy. 
Large or small homes may be built beautifully and eco¬ 
nomically of Indiana Limestone. Unusual designs are 
developed in this natural stone — designs that would 
appear severe and artificial were manufactured materials 
employed. 
The house illustrated is the English manor house type. 
The walls faced with Indiana Limestone are plain except 
for the simple trim around doors and windows. The 
two massive chimneys are faced with the same stone. 
This house, built of any other material, could not possess 
such charming individuality. 
And for exquisitely carved fireplaces and mantels, Indiana 
Limestone is most adaptable. Its rich texture lends rare 
beauty to interior decoration. 
If you are interested in receiving further information

Quarrymen’s Association, Box 782 , Bedford, Indiana. 
The arrangement of the first floor has 
several delightful features. Both living 
and dining rooms have open fireplaces 
and alcoves. The alcove off the living 
room serves as a small library, being lined 
on two walls with bookshelves. Alcove 
off the dining room serves as a breakfast 
room with a drop-leaf table placed in the 
corner. Fireplaces are faced with Buff 
Indiana Limestone. <o The second story 
i9 exceptionally well planned. The 
owner’s large bedroom has windows on 
three sides, open fireplace and private 
bathroom, also alcove with bookshelves, 
overlooking garden at the rear. There 
are three other bedrooms besides maid’s 
room. A French casement door opens 
from the second story hall on to the 
deck roof over the porch below.
