Clements HOuseHas
Clever and Pretty
Design.
Example of English Style at
10th and Colorado Ave.
Is Instructive.

This is the residence OF r. G. Glenn
ents. situated on the southwest cor
ner of Sixteenth street and Colorado
avenue 1t was chosen because of the
unusual and artistic lines of It's archi-
lecture and because 1t Is a residence
within the means of the moderately
prosperous business man.
II is house that has received care
full attention as to details, and is at
tractive because of the flowing lines
and symmetrical proportions that
compose its exterior. No attempt has
been made to build q. conventional
type house and decorate it with trim
mings and various Christmas-tree-like
decorations. but the house has been
made beautiful 18th original design.
Three. Story Structure.
Ii is q three story structure, with
garage and garden space. There has
been no attempt to build the garage
in the rear and to make back
yard" but the whole scheme Is so laid
out that the house can front on any
of the streets by which it is bounded
and present a view of beauty. The
rear of the house. facing on Sixteenth
street, is equally attractive as the
front, facing on Colorado avenue, and
the garage is designed to conform
with the house. 1t is built of the
same material, and by its location
adds to the general effectiveness OF
the entire residence.
The development of this house is
based upon a rather unusual require
ment for the provision of two branches
of a single family. The house is so
arranged that each branch of the
family maintains it's individuality, and
ha al nf nj
of the place as a single unit.
The development of the exterior and
the type of architecture, which is
basically English. were entirely the
outgrowth of the plan requirements
and the visibility Of the house from
two important streets, thus illustrat-
ing that the problem of the individual
household can be solved so as to pro-
duce convenlences and beauty.
No Space Surplus.
It would appear at the first glance
that there Is quite a surplus of space
within the roof, but there is a third
floor, in which provisions are made
for billiard room, servants quarters,
storage. etc.
The construction is a mixture of
stone and hollow tile of yariegated
colorS, treated in such a way that it
gives the house the appearance of be
ing all stone, while really a large
proportion is Of tile. The roof is OF
dark green and dull gray slate.
There Is considerable recognition Of
service requirements without any
effort to conceal them. There is
kitchenette at the most important
angle of the house, adjoining the
breakfast room and placed where 1t
gets the maximum morning sun.
The garage Is made to serve as the
background for the garden develop
ment. The overhang on the one side
Of the garage roof. which forms
garden loggia, was developed from an
old toll-gate house near jug bridge"
on the way to Frederick, Md.
The laundry yard adjoins the ga
rage and Is inclosed by an artistic
woven sapling fence. which IN due
