The driveway gate, leading 
into the garage, is so de¬ 
signed that it is not only 
a natural part of the house, 
but an interesting architec¬ 
tural story by itself 
Along the side of the house 
appear comfortable case¬ 
ment windows, the solid 
cluster in the bay lighting 
the dining alcove in the big 
living-room 
“Apart, yet a part,” the 
cheerful, sunny dining al¬ 
cove in the big living-room 
does away with the prob¬ 
lematical necessity of the 
dining room 
One is impressed, in this 
garden gate, not only by 
the fact that it is built of 
wood, but that wood is 
a very interesting and 
friendly material 
The entrance to “The 
Hearth” owes much of its 
charm to architectural 
restraint — to the things 
which the architect re- 
frhined from doing to it 
The interiors of The 
Hearth” are conspicuously 
free from triviality, and 
show wherein a small 
house may also be large 
Through the frank archi¬ 
tectural expression of its 
construction this living- 
room openly declares that 
a house, even though small, 
may proudly be a house 
instead of a plaster ed-and- 
papered packing box
