HOUSE AND GARDEN 
January, 1911. 
It is interesting to compare the appearance of the modern fireproof house with the intermediary type between wood construction and the

Hollow tile and stucco, roofed with slate, costs about 15 per cent 
more than a good wood house. Squires & Wynkoop, architects

with variegated slate in the other
