Exterior overview of Classic Home 028, designed by J. T. Pomeroy, Architect.
"This Dutch Colonial house can be placed very comfortably on a thirty-foot lot, and can be used on a twenty-five-foot lot without crowding. Three features save this house from having a pinched look: First, it is built close to the ground; second, it has lawn on both sides, and third, the skillful handling of the red cement shingle roof, particularly the broad expanse over the front entrance and sun parlor. It is remarkable what spacious rooms have been contrived in this small house. The living room is the full width of the house with fireplace and bookshelves at the end."
