There are two entrances, the 
main one shown here and a rear 
door leading from the hall to 
the terrace and garden. A pleas¬ 
ant vestibule opens at the head 
of the hall. It is accented by a 
slight ornamentation and a 
beamed ceiling 
The keynote of this house is its simplicity and restraint. The architects have depended upon 
shrubbery planting and vines for their ultimate effects. The walls are whitewashed. The win¬ 
dows throughout are metal casements with leaded panes. Slate of variegated colors gives a rich 
roof. The chimney stacks are solid and imposing and the slight finish at the top gives just the 
desired shadow and variation of line. The house is as simply flemished as it is in design

The site presented no difficult problem; it 
was oblong and flat. The house was locat¬ 
ed at one end, with an entrance in the 
farther corner by the street. A drying yard 
occupies the other corner. A paved terrace 
runs along the other side 
A planting of evergreens and shrubbery 
screens the entrance from the street and 
gives the house the gradual approach that 
is desired for a house so close to the 
property line. This contrast between 
shrubbery and white walls is ideal
