Though there is doubt as to the real
cause of the fire, it is believed by
Chief Small to have started in a pile
of rubbish located near the shed doom
on the west side of the house.
The family had all retired, and
Richard, aged IL, awaking at approxi-

choked him. He went to his mother

New Homes F or Old
~ william A. Radfsrd.

Editor. American Builder Magazine
ON many OF the old fashioned
~ homes we see today, there are
towers and balconies; bay win
dows and cupolas. ali of which do
not conform to the present-day idea
of home architecture. These homes
are well-built, of the best of mate
rails, which at the time OF building
did not cost nearly as much as they
would cost today. However. many
owners of these homes would like
to have them conform to modern
ideas of attractive exteriors. By al
tering the homes at comparatively
small cost and by decorating them,
both outside and in. they will have
homes that compare favorably with
those recently built. !,
What can be done with one OF
these old type homes is shown in
the two illustrations. The smaller
shows what to our eyes IS anything
but an attractive home, while the
larger illustration shows the same
home after the rebuilding and paint
ing has been completed.
1t will be noted that the balcony
over the entrance porch has been
removed, the roof continued where
the tower over the bay window was
and the gable transformed into a
hp-roof projection at the rear. An
oyerhanging roof has been extended
from over the entrance TO the corner
of the house and to the sun parlor
and sleeping porch that have been
added
By painting the house white and
applying dark green paint to roof,
and shutters and slightly lighter
shade to window trims and facings
the house is transformed into a most
inviting dwelling place. The addi-
tional color of ivory-yellow shades at
the window and the soft sunlight
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-10-19

colors of the draperies just seem to
beckon one with smiles into what
must be a real home inside.
The floor plans of the old home
and the new one show the changes
in the interior arrangement. The
rooms are as they were, with the
exception OF door cut through from
the living room to the sun parlor
and another door from the two cor
ner bedrooms into the sleeping porch.
Every room has been painted in
different shades of the same color,
though some walls have been given
a stippled finish and others paneled
effect by the use of stencils and a
contrasting color of paint.
II is to the exterior of the home,
however, that the greatest changes
have been made, the principal fea-
lures being the changes in the roof
lines and the addition of the sun
parlor and sleeping porch and the
pleasing color scheme achieved by
the application Of good paint.
