The long sloping lines of the roof
give this house a pleasing character,
and with the hood that extends across
the front, just above the first story
windows, a strong horizontal effect is
obtained that tends to lower the APP
pearance of the house and at the same
time to increase the apparent length.
This gives front of good proper
lions that is not stilted and in no way
suggestive of the four-wall-and-roof
"box" that is so often characteristic
of small two-story houses.
To further this pleasing horizontal
effect the windows are arranged IN
groups, symmetrically placed. Most
striking is the group of five large
windows in the first story that CEN

ter in the living room, opposite the
fireplace, giving a most unusual wall
treatment and making the room bright
and attractive. A flower box extends
the full length under this group Of
windows, offering a tempting setting
for geraniums and hanging vines
where they will show to the best adj
vantage, both from within and with
out.
The first story walls are of stucco
on hollow tile, giving n most effective
background for planting and lending
variety to the exterior in the contrast
of both color and texture the plain
wall affords in relation to the single
walls and roof above.

and transportation facilities.
The demand for lumber as well as
for many other basic building wdte-
rails now exceed production. This
