Interesting Combination
Of Materials Used
In Home.

J One of the newer Washington homes
of appealing architectural outlines and
interesting combination of materials is
that of William S. Graham, recently
completed at 1913 Grafton street, Chevy
Chase, Md.
Here is to be seen an English cottage
| type of home of center-hall plan and
of a size that falls between the more
palatial house and those of small pro-
| portions and modest treatment.
The house is situated on a lot go feet
wide and lis deep, which makes pos
Sible nice placement of the dwelling
with avoidance of the feeling of crowd
ing, though the property is not of ex-
tensive, costly expanSe.
A combination of Stucco Of rough
finish and brick, with a roof of varie-
gated colored slate of random widths
and thicknesses, laid to give matched
effect, lends real interest to the house
and illustrates the appeal of material
combinations.
of Stucco, while the entrance is faced
with brick. The windows at the front
of the house have dark shutters which
add to the contrast in the color scheme.
At the left of the house is covered
porch, with a slate roof corresponding
to that of the main section of the house
and supported by number of posts
finished in a dark stained color A
chimney of brick rises above the porch.
The richness and variation in the
color of the roofing material add greatly
to the color scheme of the structure.
A modicum of evergreen shrubs and
cedars are placed close to the front of
the house, giving further softening
effect against the stucco. The lawn
in front is unbroken except for the
walk running straight to the entrance
This house is provided with an entry
which leads into the center hall be-
yond, at the rear of which is the STAIR
way to the upper floors. There is
closet in the stairhall for wraps of
guests.
At the front part of the center hall
entrance is had into the large living
room at the left of the house, running
