HOUSE AND GARDEN 
December, 1910 
Mr. Bolands house is a modified Dutch Colonial type with the usual gambrel roof. One of the drawbacks in this style is the cutting off of 
space from the second-floor rooms when the roof is brought down over the first-story windows. To offset this, the architect has planned 
a continuous dormer, extending almost over the full length of the roof on both sides 
and the kitchen at the rear on the right 
One very seldom finds an upstairs fire¬ 
place directly over the middle of a room 
below. It has been accomplished here 
by the use of iron supporting beams 
There are no dormers to disturb the upper 
slope of the roof so that the two bed¬ 
rooms and bath on the third floor are 
lighted only at the ends 
The long porch as seen from the garden. A lattice screen covers the 
street end, securing greater privacy
