House & Garden 
In the home of Lewis I. Sharp at Man- 
hasset, L. I., a simple, balanced design has 
been executed in shingle. As the house 
massed up fairly high, it was desirable to 
give it a horizontal effect. This is created 
by the broad horizontal lines of the 
shingles, by keeping the chimney fairly 
low, by the low line of the porch and by 
the broad arc of the portico 
The plans show a compact and pleasantly 
livable disposition of rooms on the first 
floor. The stairs are kept to the back 
of the hall. The entrance is through a 
vestibule. The kitchen and pantry arc 
conveniently arranged. Upstairs are four 
bedrooms and two baths, each well lighted 
and ventilated. Arthur W. Coote was 
the architect 
{Below) The second floor of the Fisher 
home is reached by both main and ser¬ 
vice stairs. It contains four bedrooms 
and a bath. The stairs landing is quite 
large 
A slight variation exists between the original 
first floor plan and the house as executed, in 
that the extensions differ. The garage is set on 
the level below the enclosed porch. At the 
end of the hall, reached by two steps, is a den. 
The service quarters are located in the farther 
comer of the house 
The residence of John J. Fisher, at Paterson, 
N. J., is of frame construction painted white 
and with a variegated slate roof. The main 
entrance is pronounced by an open porch, and 
this facade is further enriched by the cornice 
and the balustrades surmounting the extensions.
