House b" Garden 
Van Anda 
It would be hard to find elsewhere more attrac¬ 
tive informality than that of the rambling archi¬ 
tecture of the Surrey district of England, which 
has here, in this large country house in stucco 
and brick, been transplanted so wisely and well 
to the north shore of our own Long Island 
The garden gable shows how nicely several ma¬ 
terials and methods of building have been 
mingled. Half-timber has been used sparingly 
and with consequent effectiveness, while brick 
has been very skilfully handled, with delicate 
strokes, in the quoins of windows a>id doorways 
The most compelling features of 
this house are the characteristic 
chimneys of its English proto¬ 
type. Their towering, polygonal 
masses break the skyline in an 
architecturally dramatic way
