House & Garden 
A STUCCO HOUSE 
WHICH FITS 
ITS SITE AND 
SURROUNDINGS 
The house is low to the ground, a comfort¬ 
able, spreading structure whose lines give it 
marked unity with its site and surrounding 
trees. The architects have considered these 
matters with a full realization of their im¬ 
portance and produced an effect the har¬ 
mony of which is evident at once 
The walls are rough stucco, giving soft 
gradations of light and shadow. What 
might otherwise have been a somewhat 
monotonous roof line in the servants’ 
wing has been broken by raised dormer 
eaves over the larger windows 
On the second floor are three bedrooms 
and two baths, besides the sleeping bal¬ 
cony, dressing room, sewing room, and 
the servants’ quarters in the wing. The 
hall can be made continuous from end 
to end of the house
