WHEN DETAILS HAVE MERIT 
In themselves architectural details may be very interesting, but their real merit is 
proven when they are so combined by the architect as to make the completed house 
harmonious. On this jagade, the south front of the residence of Henry Rawle, 
Esq., Morristown, N. J., we find, skillfidly combined, irregular chimney pots above 
the brick-capped rough plastered chimney, a roof of shingles laid on to give 
texture, wide overhanging eaves that shadow the upper casements, brick sills, rough 
plaster walls, slightly rounded bays marked with hand-adzed timber, a vertical sun¬ 
dial over the entrance and the bricks broken irregularly through the plaster around 
the door frame. The house sits close to the ground in the proper fashion of ayi Eng¬ 
lish cottage. The architect was H. T. Lindeberg
