Exterior overview of Classic Home 025, designed by Frederick L. Ackerman, Architect.
"This is a charming example of the half-timbered stucco house. Two very attractive features are the solarium and sleeping porch. Neither is conspicuous and ugly from the outside, but each is a real part of the design, and is kept so by the use of properly divided lights in the casements. The solarium is really an alcove off the living room, separated only by a cased opening, and at each side of it a glazed door leads to the lawn. The floor plan has been carefully worked out and affords many special features."
