HOUSE AND GARDEN 
January, 1911 
43 
The house is of stucco on a wood frame. This use of two gables 
on the front is seen in many of the modern English homes, and 
there as here the bringing down of the roof lines at the ends 
helps greatly in tying the building to its site 
The larger of the two end porches is screened in during the sum¬ 
mer months and provided with partitions of glazed sash above 
a wood base for cold weather. The plaster finish is very rough 
in texture. French windows open out upon the red tiled floor

The house is rather larger than might be ex¬ 
pected from the photograph of the front. A 
deep wing back of the dining-room provides 
more than the usual amount of space for 
kitchen, servants’ dining-room, alcove, laundry 
and closet space. The smaller end porch is 
convenient for dining outdoors 
An exceptionally pleasing hall has been 
secured by the use of square red quarry 
tiles for the floor, contrasting agree¬ 
ably with the white woodwork

Five bedrooms and two baths are included in 
the second story; the service stairway extends 
to the third floor and servants’ bedrooms. 
The location and size of the wing bedroom 
indicates that the roof at one side and the 
end is carried down with a long sweep as 
over the end porches 
There is a refreshing coolness in the living-room treatment. Most 
people would be afraid to attempt the combination of white walls 
and white woodwork, but the furniture covering and pictures 
may be used to introduce the needed color 
In contrast to the light living-room is the dining-room across the 
hall. Here the walls are paneled to the ceiling with dark 
stained cypress, finished dull. The abundance of windows pre¬ 
vents any suggestion of gloom
