house which needs a touch of modern
ism, gives a tangible ;ncrease OF value
to the property which is very accept,
able in case of sale. -
The brick porch is not, however, to
be considered as merely a means by
which old houses may be modernized.
The new house design may call for a
brick porch which will be one Of the
most attractive features Of the exte-
rior. 1t is usually the case. when this
type porch is used OF tie new house,
that the foundation walls above grade
are built up of brick also. This in
sures good substantial construction
since, in keeping the wood up from the
ground, the rotting effect of moisture Is
eliminated. In case an outside Chin
ney is used, the effect is pleasing in
that all CT the brickwork Is connected
by the foundation walls.
The house shown in the accompany
ing illustrations is of frame construc-
ton, having the sides finished with
beveled siding and the hip roof broken
up with small dormers. The porch,
foundation walls above grade and
chimney are built of brick trimmed
with white stone. In carrying out the
decorative scheme for the exterior, ac-
count should be taken of this fact so
that the wooden part of the house will
harmonic with the brickwork. This
will probably require that the house
be trimmed in white, but the body color
will depend somewhat upon the kind of
brick selected.
A novel decorative feature is OBJ
tanned in the rail of the porch by lay
ing up theSbrick in checker-board fash
ion, the surface being divided into
squares formed by. placing brick with
their faces together In groups Of three,
adjacent squares having the brick
placed at right angles. Panels are
formed by bordering q double horizon
tai row of these squares with a single
course of straight-laid brick. The stone
coping is placed above the upper Dor
der and a stone sill below the lower
border.
There are two entrances to the house
from the street. One is from the
front porch and the other is by a
side stoop leading to the kitchen. The
front door is placed lear the end of
the porch. 1t opens into a little vestibule
off Of which q large closet fitted with
a shelf and providing generous space

The popularity of brick porches on
frame houses has been growing for a
number of years. The brick porch has
been used to add the finishing touch to
frame construction owe a period of
years reaching back beyond the in
fancy Of the face brick. It's rapid
adoption is no doubt largely explained
by the development which has taken
place in the brick industry during re-

The term 'brick'' has lost some of
the definite meaning which it, at one

called up the image of an uninterest-
