The home of Edward P. Schell, River dale, N. Y., is New Eng¬ 
land Colonial with variations, the porch, of course, being a 
modern detail, although its balustrade is copied from an old 
“captain’s walk.” Inspiration for the bay windows was found 
in some old shop fronts. The walls are of “ship-lap” construc¬ 
tion—wide boards laid on flat. These are painted white. The 
shutters are green. Dwight James Baum, architect 
A feature of the plans of the Schell house is the double en¬ 
closed porch. The rear part is used for breakfast and the front 
as a supplementary living porch for cold weather, this end being 
furnished with a fireplace. Upstairs the hall is kept down to 
a minimum, giving plenty of chamber space and room for 
closets. A sleeping porch is an addition to this floor. The 
attic houses a servant’s room and storage quarters 
A characteristic American design has been used for the home of 
Frederick G. Nash, at Auburn, N. Y. The stained shingles of the 
front facade are pleasantly relieved by ornate door trim and the 
shallow bay window. At this end is an enclosed porch, with lattice 
on each side the door. The pent roof is an excellent detail. Carl C. 
Tollman, architect 
The Nash plans show an 
unusual position for the 
living room. The hall and 
stairs are at one side, 
with the kitchen, dining 
room and porch in the 
rear. Upstairs are three 
bedrooms and a bath. 
Built-in wardrobes and an 
abundance of closet space 
are attractive features
