Classic Home 046

Exterior Overview of Classic Home 046, Chamberlain Cottage, by Marcel Breuer, Architect.

"Breuer's understanding of American timber balloon frame constructed on a masonry base is intelligently exaggerated in this house, designed soon after his leaving Europe. The balloon frame is constructed as a truss, allowing cantilevering of the kitchen and 'inglenook' over the lower ground floor entrance, as well as the glazed porch at right angles to the kitchen." ? David Dunster. Key Buildings of the Twentieth Century, Volume 1: Houses 1900-1944. page 98.
