"This attractive seven-room dwelling has an exterior of stucco with
some half-timbered work in the gables. This house was published
originally in the Small House Page of the New York Tribune in
1923, and received extremely favorable comment. Many persons
indicated interest in building the house because of its impressive
but practical character for a dwelling of such limited size.
"In designing the exterior the architect has very cleverly used long
sweeping roof lines but has provided a sufficient number of breaks
and details to eliminate any possible monotony. By the selection of
proper stucco color and roof shingles, it is possible to develop a
most pleasing architectural effect.
"The house is entered through a small vestibule into a central hall,
which has a wide inter-room opening into commodious living quarters.
These include a large living room, with open fireplace, the size of
which is augmented by a sun porch running across the entire end of
the house and connected through the living room by two doors; or wide
French doors may be used."
