A COUNTRY HOME AT FOX POINT, WISCONSIN, ON THE SHORE OF LAKE 
MICHIGAN—A HOUSE OF INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL PLAN THAT COST $4,200 
by Jared Stuyvesant 
F OX POINT is a suburb of Milwaukee and about ten miles north 
of the city. There is a bluff on the shore of Lake Michigan 
at this point which is about ninety feet high. For a distance of a 
mile or more along the shore this bluff stands back several hundred 
yards, leaving a strip of meadow land behind it and the water. 
On this wooded bluff stands Hawthorne Lodge, a summer home 
which has many interesting features of plan as well as a particu¬ 
larly attractive appearance as a whole. The house might stand 
for a tvpe of the well designed country home of moderate size. 
One set so many examples of the more elaborate types of home 
these days, which are interesting but beyond the reach of most 
In warm weather the dining-table is set in the screened porch, convenient to 
the kitchen. During the winter one end of the living-room 
takes the place of a dining-room 
of us, that it is particularly gratifying to find how successfully a 
small home may be worked out if one goes about it in the right way. 
A glance at the plan will show just how much has been included 
and also what has had to be given up. It will be noticed that 
there is no dining-room but that the living-room has been recog¬ 
nized as the main essential on the first floor, to which everything 
else has been made subordinate. This room measures 15 x 24 
feet, not including the alcove at the front, nor the space taken 
by the stairway and vestibule, nor the alcove leading to the bath. 
The location of the bath on the first floor is one of those unex¬ 
pected things which results from the peculiar exigencies of the site. 
There are three good bedrooms on the second floor, each with a view 
down over the lake, and the end ones have cross ventilation 
through the gable windows
