The overhanging second story with deco¬ 
rative pendant finials is a type to be found 
in very early New England houses. It ac¬ 
cords harmoniously with this modern in¬ 
terpretation, a house found at Hartford, 
Conn., a type suitable for the suburbs or 
restricted country districts 
Without the decorative latticed entrance 
portico the front fagade would be unpleas¬ 
antly austere. Its projection from the 
house creates desirable shadows and its 
arched top is a relief to the otherwise 
straight lines of the house. Smith &

At the rear of the living 
room is an alcove, giv¬ 
ing added space, and at 
the end of the hall a 
plant room, both un¬ 
usual features for a 
small house 
Four bedrooms and 
two baths are provided 
on the second floor. 
The plan is balanced. A 
servants’ stairs leads up 
conveniently from the 
serving room
