House & Garde n 
The old Mount Vernon type of 
square-post portico loses none of 
its fine dignity even when it is 
transplanted far from its Eastern 
habitat. This type of portico is 
gracious and does not necessarily 
imply a house of large scale 
While this is not a small house, yet 
its manner has much of the pleas¬ 
ing informality which is generally 
associated with the small house. 
The incorporation of house and 
garage, in the form of a “motor 
room”, is becoming more frequent

The central feature of 
the front of the house 
is developed to express 
its importance. The 
doorway is well de¬ 
tailed, and the Palla- 
dian window is brought 
into relationship by 
the trellises. A flag 
walk adds informality 
In a house of this size 
it is never difficult to 
provide an ample num¬ 
ber of livable rooms. 
The architect has tak¬ 
en advantage of his 
opportunities here. Ed¬ 
ward B. Delk is the 
architect of this house 
for Ray Colcord, in 
Kansas City, Missouri
