Colonial characteristics adapt them¬ 
selves readily to the small house. In 
this little cottage a Germantown 
hood marks the entrance and the 
continued pent roof breaks the fagade 
pleasantly. Wide red cedar shingles 
have been used to cover the exterior 
walls. They are laid 11" to the 
weather and painted white. The 
roof is of similar shingles stained 
moss green 
The house is built on a hillside, which affords space 
for a billiard room under the sun porch. There is nr 
third floor nor is there any back stairway, but the 
stairs are so arranged that privacy is possible with¬ 
out waste space. The house is finished in oak down¬ 
stairs and white pine upstairs

The same general style and plan is followed in 
another house by the same architect. In this 
instance the plans show a larger kitchen and 
a back stairs, with a slightly different chamber 
arrangement. The woodwork is white pine 
throughout. The dining room is wainscoted 
to the window sill height 
Advantage is taken of the grade to place a 
garage under the sun room. The house is ex¬ 
ecuted in tapestry brick laid up in mortar and 
with white trim. The roof is of sea-green 
slate, the gutters and leaders are copper. Vines 
will greatly enhance the appearance of the fagade 
when they have had time to develop
