ROMANTIC BEAUTY IN CONCRETE 
There is magic in this detail oj a California 
house, with its fine harmony of space, form and 
roof-line. Moorish influence is traceable in the 
arched windows grouped under the arched lin¬ 
tel. Romance lingers in the sheltered corner of 
the terrace with its grilled narrow window, old 
marble bench, and tropical planting! The shad¬ 
ows on the sun-drenched walls make a form of 
decoration which California. architects develop 
delightfully. Old red hand-made tiles cover the 
lower roof-line and the terrace is tiled so that 
it has comfort as well as beauty for outdoor 
living. Stiles O. Clement, architect. Other
