HOUSE AND GARDEN 
3 6 5 
Mr. Summerville’s house suggests the Swiss chalet in its deeply overhanging roof and dark woodwork, but no distinct architectural style has 
been permitted to take away its character of an American home 
The square plan is the most economi¬ 
cal one to build 
The main entrance porch with its flanking seats 
The second floor shows the very mini¬ 
mum of hall space

In the living-room the chimney breast and the woodwork on ceil¬ 
ing and side walls, while simple, help furnish the room 
Stained cypress has been used effectively for the wood trim and the 
wainscoting with its upper panels matching the tinted plaster
