The residence 
inge, Forest 
reminiscent of an Italian farm¬ 
house. The roof is of old Ital¬ 
ian tiles, varying in color from 
browns to red. It is heavily 
pointed up in cement in the 
European manner, which gives 
a rough texture. Walls are of 
a rather strongly troweled 
stucco of a faded yellow tone. 
The shutters are painted bluish 
green 
A living porch extends from 
one side of the house, iden¬ 
tical in dreatment, with the 
same rough plastered yellow 
walls and red Italian tile roof. 
The window trim is painted a 
clear cerulean blue. This use 
of color on the outside of the 
house is very desirable. We 
need more of it in our Ameri¬ 
can houses. Planting always 
finds it an effective foil and 
background
