aThe never-ending desire for some
thing "new" which is a characteristic
of the American people, has its effect
on architecture by bringing into use
In this country the distinguishing char
acterlstics Of nearly every successful
type of architecture which has ever
been used In any part Of the world.
One Of the attractive architectural
adaptations which American architects
have brought about is modelled after
the Swiss chalet. The Swiss architec-
ture is usually associated with rugged
landscape. There are. various places
in the United States where the sur
roundings are suitable for the adapta-
ton of this style of architecture. Many
country estates In localities where the
topography is characterized by abrupt
changes In elevation with exposed rock
surfaces, where the growth of trees
and other natural features are agree
able, have been planned after the
Swiss style to produce beautiful re-
suits. The house very often is built
on the very edge Of an abrupt cliff and
the effect Is. all the more beautiful If
nature has provided clear stream
which winds through the estate and
passes at the base of this cliff.
Occasionally a beauty spot Of this
type is found within the boundaries of

wide clapboards, stained to represent
weathered timber or dark brown, as
preferred. The massive balcony rail
above the wide window opening in
the front wall of the house Is very eff
fective as an adaptation Of the origin
al style. The typical chalet has a bal
eony on two sides of the building,
built close up under the caves. Very
often the timbers used in the con-
struction of these balconies were very
deliberately carved. The decks above
the porches Of the design illustrated
are intended to add an atmosphere Of
the rustic In the same way that the
balcony Is effectively used.
A novel method of supporting the
roof overhanging the gables consists
Of the only use Of exposed timbers
which Is found In the design. The prin.
cipal rafters are supported by beams
extending out from the wall Of the
house. Near the center Of these beams
timber is extended parallel to the
wall Of the house, the beams resting
on this timber which is In turn sup
ported by q second set of beams, not
SO long as those which support the raf-
tiers. The timber Is not as long as the
rafters, but 1t Is stopped short dis
lance beyond the outer beam toward
the top and bottom Of the roof, the
timber ends being cut with simple
ornamental design.
The entrance to the house Is on the
side and Is through a coy little porch
adjoining the reception hall. The re-
ception haIl opens into the dining room
on one side through double doors and
on the other side through cased
opening into the living room. The liv-
ing room extends across the front Of
the house and Is 20 feet by Is feet in
size. In one end Of II is brick fire.
place fianked with two windows which
have book cases built beneath them.
This room is well lighted by the two
windows mentioned and q broad triple
window in front.
In the back Dart Of the house 10 q
large living porch which win be e.
peciaIly appreciated in the summer.
This porch Is intended to be fitted
with screens in the sumner and storm
cash during the winter. On the sec
ond floor there are three bedrooms
and 3 bath. The decks could be very
easily fitted with frames for canvas
coverings which would make them

He built his home closely TO the
Swiss model and placed It almost on
the edge of the cliff. 1t is a decidedly
rustic building with low pitch roof,
wide balconies, distinctive windows
anda of the details of ornamentatlOn
common to this style. During the sum-
nier months the "Swiss Cottage" as it
il commonly called In Rockford, forms
a beautiful picture in the background
Ct which there are impressive oaks
and many other trees, mass of shrub
berry and the contrasting colors Of
many flowers.
While 1t must be admitted that the
true beauty Of the Swiss chalet de-
ponds upon Its surroundings, yet the
characteristics Of this style may be
variously modified and applied to q
house designed for average surroupd-

The prevailing rock formation under
lying this section Is yellow limestone
and II happens that some force Of ma
ture during the past ages formed a
jagged break In the surface OF the
earth starting at a point a few hun
irsd yards from the mouth Of the
creek and extending roughly along its
course until II Is finally smoothed out
toward the north and west. For about
three hundred feet In Its cosrse the
creek flows along at the base OF the
cliff, which Il perhaps 90 feet high at
this point. The land adjacent to this

ings. An example of a house designed
in this way is presented In the ac-
.companying perspective view. There
is little Of the elaborate ornamentatlon
which is found on the typical Swiss
chalet. The use of heavy exposed tim
bers, which is a strong feature Of this
style, is suppressed considerably in
this house, but enough has been re-
tanned to secure the rustic appearance
which is necessary IL the dwelling is
to carry any resemblance at all to
the basic style.
The exterior wall surfaces of the
first floor are finished with gray stuc-
co floated fairly smooth. The sur
faces above this are covered with

That new uses for motorcycles are
