Architecturally the house follows no 
distinctive type, save that it is 
American and has adapted the use- 
fid points of many styles. The 
structure is wide clapboard painted 
white, with green shutters and a 
green shingled roof

SUBURBAN HOUSE

Architect 
The plan is informal, provid¬ 
ing space for a hall with living 
room on one side and dining 
room beyond; den, stairs and 
kitchen on the other side. The 
veranda off the living room 
gives a touch of privacy not 
found on the front porch 
On the second floor there are 
one large chamber with a fire¬ 
place, three smaller ones, two 
baths and a sleeping porch. 
Large closet space is evident, 
as is the opportunity for light 
and ventilation. It is a com¬ 
pact arrangement for a small 
family, convenient, comfort¬ 
able and unostentatious
