A REMODELED 
COUNTRY 
HOUSE 
PRENTICE SANGER, Architect 
Our ancestors in the North 
were not given to generous 
porches and outdoor living. 
The big covered terrace, 
then, is a modern touch. 
But the entrance door, 
which is the epitome of a 
dignified and older life, still 
stands as proof of a fine 
feeling for classic architect¬ 
ure and as a symbol of the 
simple, generous hospitality 
so characteristic of country 
dwellers

An old country place is al- 
ways a challenge to the im¬ 
agination. Whether you re¬ 
store it to a former glory or 
remodel to modern needs, 
the work is good or bad ac¬ 
cording to what you first 
saw in the house and 
dreamed for it. The remod¬ 
eling of this farmhouse, the 
home of Mrs. M. R. Hell- 
but, Morristown, N. J., was 
the natural residt of its pos¬ 
sibilities
