House & Garden 
An architectural detail has to be considered 
both by itself and in conjunction with other 
details—its individual refinement or distinct¬ 
ive character and its possibility for being 
blended suitably with details of other types. 
This northeast facade of a residence at Lake 
Forest, III., shows Mr. Lindeberg using white 
washed brick in flat surfaces and in a bay, 
regular brick coignings, a timber balcony, half¬ 
timber with brick nogging, long dormers, a 
steep slate roof and windows of various types. 
These are combined and yet they are never 
confusing or inharmonious 
Another view of the northeast facade of this 
Lake Forest house shows the manner in which 
the balcony is placed between two chimney 
stacks. Here the whitewashed brick wall is 
reduced to the first story and half-timber ap¬ 
pears above it. These sturdy timbers form a 
frame for many interesting details which are 
characteristic of Mr. Lindeberg’s work. The 
overhang of the second story, the scale and 
position of the eaves, the contrasting white 
chimneys above roofs of variegated slate, the 
slight bend of the ridge, the high placing of 
the windows—all are evidences of superb 
architectural merit

One of the features of this house at Rum- 
son, N. J., is the entrance. A repealed 
roof line brings it effectively into the com¬ 
position. Antique slate has been used, a 
type suited to peaked roofs. Shallow dor¬ 
mers afford relief to this expanse of slate. 
The walls are of rough brick laid with an 
occasional header slightly advanced, pro¬ 
ducing a pleasantly rough surjace
