In addition io forming a 
beautifully balanced group 
in themselves, these two 
houses, designed for tlu: 
Morris Estate at Over- 
brook, Pa., by ending a 
street vista, serve as an 
important architectural 
unit of the community 
7 hough both houses are 
quite identical hi design, 
each following the mellow 
traditions of the Philadel¬ 
phia countryside Colonial, 
the left-hand one has been 
white-washed while the 
masonry of the other has 
been left exposed 
The second floor plan, 
which, reversed, does for 
both houses, resolves itself 
into just such a room ar¬ 
rangement as one would 
be led to expect from the 
exterior: a splendid test 
for determining architec¬ 
tural honesty at a glance

The first floors are simply 
planned, convenient, and 
roomy. In the loggia¬ 
like arbor connecting house 
and garage one may sit 
comfortably and contem¬ 
plate a garden and grounds 
layout which contains not 
one meaningless feature
