In adapting the spirit 
of the smaller French 
chateaux to an Ameri¬ 
can house of moderate 
size the architect, who 
was Eugene J. Lang, 
has applied French 
classic motifs to the en¬ 
trance door. The effect 
is dignified and unusual 
A Colonial design, com¬ 
mon to old houses in 
the United States, con¬ 
sists of a wooden fan 
over the door and long 
lights on each side. The 
door is paneled, or, as 
in this modern example, 
of glass. W. Lawrence 
Bottomley, architect 
The Germantown hood 
is found in houses of 
Dutch Colonial and 
Pennsylvania architec¬ 
ture. A penthouse or 
projection rum along 
the facade and over the 
door is elaborated into 
an arched hood. Frank 
J. Forster, architect 
Inspiration for this door 
is found in the Palazzo 
Venezia at Rome—a Ba¬ 
roque window 1 framing 
above a Classical door. 
Thus the Italian Ren¬ 
aissance is adapted to 
an American Italian 
type house. Lewis Colt 
Albro, architect 
This portico entrance is on the 
wing of a Georgian house and is 
pronounced harmoniously by be¬ 
ing surmounted by a motif adapt¬ 
ed from the Georgian—a broken 
pediment and urn detail. The 
square columns, of course, are a 
modern conception. Walker & 
Gillette, architects
