House b° Garden 
A detail of technique true to type 
is the diversity of materials em¬ 
ployed in the different portions 
of this house. Stucco, brick, 
stone, half-timber and clap¬ 
boards are interestingly mingled, 
and the casement 'windows are a 
necessary detail 
A HOUSE AT 
CRANFORD, N. J. 
A. R. HENNELL, Architect 
The device of the splayed wing 
adds to the interest of the up¬ 
stairs plan, as it does on the first 
floor, and the chimney at the 
right of the entrance aflords the 
unusual luxury of an ingle nook. 
The bathroom has a sunken pool 
Here the characteristics of the modern 
English country house are trans¬ 
planted to New Jersey by an English 
architect. Although lacking ade¬ 
quate shrubbery and the hand- 
wrought materials of its English 
model, it 'will improve under the 
softening touch of age 
The plan, with semi-detached garage, 
expresses many of the picturesque 
and unsymmetrical traits of the 
English cottage. The. splayed 'wing 
is an effective clement in planning 
the picturesque house that is seldom 
utilized by American architects
