House & Garden 
Another view oj the 
Armour model sug¬ 
gests the wonderfully 
effective way in 
which the house can 
be visualized even

tive, of course, is 
perfect throughout 
By a wise choice of 
materials, a model 
can be made of any 
type of house. All 
three dimensions of 
the Hon. Lathrop 
Brown residence at 
St. James, L. I., are 
convincingly clear.

and drives; dried sponges and green dyed seaweed for trees and shrubs—these are a few of the things utilized. In this view 
of the Armour house model the life-like appearance of the planting along the brick wall is especially interesting
