Combining dignity with artistic
beauty. unusual exterior architecture
and simplicity in room arrangement
without waste space, design to permit
OF later enlargement and additional
rooms with but slight alterations. and
low frst cost Of construction; Chauney

radius OF greater New York. Its total
cubage is 1919 cubic feet, and the
general dimensions 29.6 feet wide and
is feet deep, not including the rear
bay and porch.
Most suitable for a suburban resi-
Dental section. this house may be
built on a plot only 80 feet wide.

p-biic eidewalk, as shown in the per
spective drawing By Mr.. Hudson. or a
low brick wall, will create an atmos-
phere of dignity. solidity and perma-
nency.

Of the small Colonial brick houses IN

about Philadelphia. The exterior

small home: "Main building 20 be RED
brick; corniee, entrance. porch and

wooden blinds painted gray; Stats or
