House & Garden 
The residence of Staf¬ 
ford W. Bixby, at Los 
Angeles, is an interest¬ 
ing combination of 
cement and tile. The 
arch is generously used 
in creating loggias. The 
service yard is enclosed 
and the garage is tied 
to the house by a high 
wall. The garden is 
quite separate 
The front facade of the 
Bixby residence shows 
a variety of enrichment 
—the entrance pro¬ 
nounced by tile trim, a 
grill above it, wrought- 
iron balustrade and 
twisted Italian columns 
on the upstairs loggia 
and palms roofing the 
porch. Elmer Grey, 
architect 
The first floor plan provides 
for rooms that are practically 
the width of the house or 
opening on the loggia. This 
gives cross ventilation and 
plenty of light. All service is 
restricted to the wing 
An owner’s suite occupies a 
generous part of the second 
'floor, with its bath, dressing 
room, closets, sleeping porch, 
private pergola and loggia. 
Two other chambers with 
bath and dressing room are 
provided
