Masonry Effect Gained
by Brick Veneer
and Stucco.
MATERIALS CONTRAST
Variations in Color. Form
and Texture Give
Artistic Air.
BY l.. PORTER MOORE.


Strong individuality in home de-
sign is evident in this plan, No. 2?2-S.
which economically but effectively IN
corporates many features of English
design usually confined to higher
priced homes because of the expense
for masonry work. The English
masonry effect is gained in this case
by the use of common brick veneer
and stucco on metal lath, over
structure framed conventionally in
| wood. The architect is Harold r.
Paddon of New York. The actual
space content of this design Is
26.6SS cubic feet.
The individuality of the home shown
today is largely a product of the use
of differing and contrasting materials,
with their variations in color, form and
texture. This quality would make this
home an outstanding one in any COM
munity, and at the same time would
largely obviate the possibility of its
close duplication in a neighboring
house, condition to be avoided where
| possible.
The artistic effect for which the
home is noteworthy is gained in the
| variance in character shown in the
| work--the avoidance of sameness-
and is made possible By careful de.
failing to avoid expense.
Individuality Is Keynote.
Entering the home, it's keynote of
| individuality is made manifest at
once. The chapel entrance has a tiled
floor with q depression for a mat.
