AS one approaches this interesting,
cheerful dwelling the attention paid to
details of construction becomes ap-
parent The roof is an example. This
is manufactured product, the same as
employed in the restoration program at
Williamsburg, Va, which presents the
appearance of weather-beaten Colonial
period wooden shingles. 1t is, in fact,
however, a Modern f1reproof product,
expensive in t;pe which presents a
soft, aged aspect Of neutral tone.
Lower Rows Darker.
Inspection reveals that the lower rows
of shingles are vi slightly darker tone
than the upper stretches, resembling
the appearance found in old wooden
shingle roofs resulting from the con-
gestion of packs ~ snow on the lower
portion of roofs, Just above the gutter,
during Winter SEASONS.
Stepping mo the house one finds
door knobs, latches and other hand
ware of special design, which gives an
old-time touch to this modern product.
Even Dashboard mouldings paneling
and interior corniceS, doors and window
frames are of special design.
These are some of the decorative
touches which add to the character of
the Silver Star dwelling. Other de-
tails are of even more Importance from
the view of the Inability of the house.
For instance, both the living room
and the master bed room, as might be
expected are on the south side of the
house, where they have the full bene-
fit OF sun and light and the Summer
southern breeze. Both these rooms have
three exposures. In addition, both open
upon the two-story. covered porch, at
the rear, which is built under the main
roof of the dwelling.
Both living room and master bed
room have open freplaces, which add
to the feeling of warmth. In these
bright, cheerful rooms one can see the

construction and nice selection of light
ing fixtures.
Wide Brick Terrace.
Stepping out of the rear door IF
the living room, the visitor finds him
self on a wide, neatly-laid brick ter
race, which joins level rear lawn,
running to the rear OF the property.

neat white board fence which shields
a gravel-covered drying yard, just be
hind the kitchen at the left rear of the
house.
Immediately to the rear of the center
hall of this house is the dining room,
with an eastern exposure over the rear
garden and with a door giving onto the

To the left of the dining room is the
