Suggestions for the Building of Porches
Authr O. Caassn. Arohtsot

Simplicity does not mean b~arrenness.
Make simplicity as beautiful as you please
or can. But be sure il be done for
b~eauty's sake and not for show. william
Norris.
In a recent article on "entrances'' the
writer pointed out in some detail the ad-
visibility of adjoining that feature OF a
home. The subject was dwelt upon purely
from a standpoint Of beauty, as an entrance
has, strictly speaking, no further utility
than to mark the principal door to the
house. This week a subject closely allied
TO 1t but of far more import will be
handled, namely, porches.
A home has two centers around which the
family gathers and about which remain
the fondest recollection after leaving IL:
They are the front perch and the fire place.
As the one Is the center of family life in
winter, the other is the beginning and end
of IT in summer Everyone loves a
lover" and the lovers chief delight is to
sit before a blazing fire place or linger
at eventide on the porch. There is some
thing about the cczy fire lights Of the
former or the pale moon light on the
latter that brings out those intimate senti-
ments which the sun with all its bright
ness and majesty fails to bring forth.
There Is a class of architect in the coun-
try that ridicule the appearance and utility
of our modern piazza or perch. Without
denying, as a designer, that It IL much
easier to design a house in good pro-
portion without a porch than with one. and
that the porch is often the ruination Of
a house from an architectural standpoint:
the criticism is not well taken. Call It an
American fad, If you please; admitted that
the porch or piazza is seldom found in
Europe, even In the warm climates where
the loggia takes its place. It is not the
only luxury for Americans by Americans
and not known in Europe or elsewhere.
and II the American home-bullder wants
a porch on which TO rest on summer after
noon or sit I'm the cool of the evening
breeze, It is up to the architect to pro-
vide enc and make It at once beautiful,
home-like. and Of good proportion first In
itself and IN its relation TO the house.
Among other American creations IN home
building is the country home. To build
a country home without a porch is as
much an anomaly as Romeo and Juliet"
without a Romeo.
This time we are taking up the subject
Of porches in the city; in another article
will be taken up the proper adornment and
design Of porches on suburban or country
houses and their relation 10 a life in
natures realm.
In considering the porch the illustration
here used to show In concrete form the
following comments and criticisms should
not necessarily be taken as a complete
standard Of porch design. II is not. Con
suit modern work. as It may serve TO

Indicated the confidence our people must
have had in the future.
A wonder indeed that that confidence
did not extend to other forms OF building,
remunerstive, productive. profitable build
ing. But we are shaking off our lethargy
somewhat. For example. the falling off in
building from January / 10 July J., this
year, as compared with the same period
OF 1907 was 80 per cent, Or in figures the
total expended in that time was Sl94, 49, 40
as against Ss22, %, 29l for 1907 SO much
for the full six months, but note that the
figures for June alone are S54. AZ. 100 in

City-the pulse OF the country We can call
1.-THE falling off for six months was a.
per cent, while its building for June. lSCs
was S2o'l4s,o27 or only Is per cent less than
June, 1907.
Building of all kinds is on the increase
and a rapid one. Railroads that had
suspended improvements have resumed
Omaha daily bee., 1908-08-30

In building as in everything else, We
mortals don't always show the very top
notch of good sense, for when prices are
highest the demand is greatest and Of
course, it's the big demand that makes
like sheep any way. It's only when We see
the other fellow building and paying extra
high prices that We get warmed up and
fearing som unknown evil or other, VIC
ruch in and want some too!
That's the way IT'S generally done; but
one would think that shrewd business men
would see the opportunity and realize the
advantage Of buying on a low market
and get busy and build all they can now.
Incidentally If they did. it would be the
very thing that would most expedite the
return Of flush, busy, high-prleed times.
All must appreciate that We can not
stand still; the soft pedal that has
been On for a few months will soon give
way TO the 'crecendo" or whatever Il Is
that swells up the tone. Business is bound
to boom and before many moons. Crops
have been bountiful, banks lare loaded with
money and the political uneasiness will
shortly be ever. That there, is money
enough for people TO make hay while the
sun shines as Il were. Is proven by the
fact that investors nave awakened TO their
chances and are buying stocks The staple
stocks that a year or so ago were owned
