The well-to-do suburban builder is
getting rather particular about the
kind Of house he puts up. 1t is not
enough to simply provide comfortable
shelter for his family and have room
enough for all; but the general style
and appearance of the house has to
be given due thought so that it VIII
work in we'll with it's surroundings
and conform in size and style to what
his friends and neighbors consider
necessary for his home. Something
of spaciousness, dignity and hospital
structure. The exact order of archi-
lecture to be used may not be pre-
scribed-some of those details are left
to the home builder himself and to his
architect-but nevertheless, custom
prescribes the quality and general
character of the building.
One of the features that public opin-
ion is coming more and more to re-
quire is that suburban dwellings
should be as nearly freproof or fire
resisting as possible. Fire protection
In small towns and suburban localities
is very seldom all that it should be.
Common business sense directs that
in such locations extra precautions
should be taken, especially for resi-
dences, to make them as nearly fire
proof as possible. This carries with
it the obligation to build substantially
and we'll, at the same time using as
artistic design as may be, SO that
the building which is to last for three
or four generations will throughout all
that time be a source of pride to the
owner and an Improvement to the
neighborhood.
The design illustrated on this page
will be found to fulfill all these CON
ditions and to recommend itself as
being at once dignified and attractive
in appearance, substantial in construc-
ton and, using permanent materials,
is as near f1reproof as residence can
be made with practical success.
The general type of this house is
of the popular brick veneer-cement
