the danger to the frame building is
greatly increased over that existing
in masonry-walled buildings. II
owners and builders could be made
to realize. says one architect, the pro-
lection secured by prudent and care
full construction OF frame buildings.
the annual loss now chargeable to
such buildings would be greatly re-
duced.
Size II Important.
Frame dwellings, as a general rule,
should never exceed two and half
stories. or thirty feet, in height and
should not exceed 5000 square feet in
area. The attic in two-and-a-half-
story dwelling can be used for sleep
ing rooms, but should not be used as
living rooms. No family should be
domiciled above the second story.
Frame dwellings used by one family
only may be three stories high, or
thirty-five feet. Within town limits or
other congested localities the COM
Abined area of frame dwellings,, sheds
Dand outhouses located on a lot should
not exceed 80 per cent Of the lot area.
Frame dwellings with wooden sid
ing should not be within ten feet of
another building, unless the spaces
between the studs be filled with in
combustible material and the exposed
side be covered also with non -inflam-
mable material.
The proportion of dwellings, which
catch fire and become q total loss or
which have buildings and contents
ruined, Is very high. The reasons are
these:
First--Such buildings are usually
located in outer areas, more or less

F|RE-STOPP|NG HELD
VITAL IN BUILDING
Frame Dwelling, Properly
Constructed, Is Less
Likely to Burn.

A Well built frame dwelling, fully
fre-stopped and provided with other
protective construction. Is declared
by architects to be virtually on q par
with masonry-walled houses of the
same design with wooden interior
construction as regards resistance to
interior fire. A fire well started In
either type Is pretty sure to consume
the building. but the chances OF con-
trolling such fire in a properly con-
structed house are greatly increased.
Fire-stopping in frame houses is
almost invariably poorly done, and
in so far as this Is true for the walls,

AMERICAN HOME
ACHIEVES BEAUTY
Far Advanced Today Over
Any Other Period in
History.

American architecture has gone
through a good many phases since
the original log huts were built by
the early settlers in Virginia and
Massachusetts,. Present day home
building. however. is far advanced in
point of beauty over any period in the
country's history.
In the beginning of the eighteenth
century the general rule was for un-
pretentious houses. and there are
many survivors today OF the early
homes that were put UP in this period
all over the New England landscape.
During the revolution there was
general lull in building. with great
revival Immediately after the war.
The post-revolutionary period is dis
tinguished by the increase in the
number of pretentious homes. The
country was growing richer and peo-
pie were able to put more money into
their homes.
Studied Architecture.
With the general activity In build
ing that came with the end of the
revolution there grew up a demand
For information regarding architec-
rure. This was met by the publica-
ton of number of books concerning
architectural forms and details. one
of the chief of which was Asher Ben
jamin's Country Builders Assist
ant" published in 1877. These books
gave details of classic and Renais-
sance architecture. and actually
started the study of architecture in
this country. Architects soon began
to appear, men whose individuality
marked their work. bringing their
names. with their designs, down to
the present time.
The study of classic forms soon
started the Greek revival, the next
step in our architectural development.
which in turn was followed by the
"Queen Anne" cottages and the Vic
torian era Organized architectural
education freed us somewhat from
these styles, took US through the
French influence of the nineties and
brought us to the present period of
such complete information that we
are now able to design in any style
q client wants with fairly complete
success.
Through all this confusion there
persists a. very genuine interest and
appreciation of our first periods and
the simple colonial house OF the
eighteenth century will continue to be
an inspiration.
