House & Garden 
Gillies 
The architecture is a cross 
between English and Nor¬ 
man farmhouse. It is 
executed in warm gray 
stucco laid on rough, with 
occasional sills of red brick 
and irregular foundations 
of stone bleeding off into 
the stucco without any 
line. The roof is shingles 
with five different tones 
of green and red. The 
whole effect of the house is 
one of soft tones and easy 
contours 
In one of the wings half¬ 
timber construction is re¬ 
vealed through the stucco. 
The beams are rough and 
pegged together. Windows 
throughout the house are 
leaded casements. The 
acute angle of the roof, a 
Norman feature, gives the 
house an appearance of 
great height. Wide eaves 
with a slight kick-up af¬ 
ford interesting details for 
adaptatioji to less preten¬ 
tious English designs 
A recessed door with a pronounced shelf 
above it and a flagged pavement below 
makes an unusual but simple entrance
