Exterior overview of Classic Home 023, designed by Frederick L. Ackerman, Architect.
"It would be hard to find an eight-room home of more distinctive appearance than this half-timbered English house with its hooded formal entrance and out-jutting second-story bays. The steep roof, grouped casements, and tiled chimneys are characteristic of the type. The huge sun parlor at the side is an American idea which has been cleverly handled. In fact, the entire floor plan is strictly in accord with American ideals. In the living room there is a fireplace, flanked by glazed doors leading to the sun porch."
