Shingles as an outside wall covering 
have many advantages in addition to 
their length of life and moderate 
price. They can be painted, as here. 
They can be laid with an occasional 
narrow course, thus breaking the mo¬ 
notony of the wall surface. This 
home, a residence at Spokane, Wash¬ 
ington, also presents an interesting 
study in gables 
Upstairs the hall space is kept at a 
minimum, giving plenty of closet 
room, making the chambers of ample 
size. The exposure of these rooms 
and their ventilation has been well 
handled. A feature of the plan is the 
nursery, which in time can become 
the child’s bedroom. It is a livable 
house for a small family with one 
servant

A GROUP of FIVE 
SMALL HOUSES 
In Which Shingle and 
Stucco Have Been Suc¬ 
cessfully Em-ployed 
Practically one half of the bottom 
floor is occupied by the living room 
and its attendant sunroom, which 
commands the garden view. The 
entrance is effected through an out¬ 
side vestibule, with a lavatory 
placed behind it. Service quarters 
are in the front and side of the 
house, placing the dining room at 
the rear facing the garden 
The roof is deeply indented, 
dormers crop out unexpectedly, the 
shingle of the roof spills over the 
shingle of the walls, yet the whole 
effect is pleasant. Color is given 
this wall by the rough stone chim¬ 
ney stack. The windows through¬ 
out the house are casements, the 
entrance lavatory being protected 
by a casement grill. Whitehouse
