Here we find the influence of both the Pacific Coast and South and some of the appeal¬ ing features of the old-fashioned Colonial home have been incorporated into it. The 5-room home is designed so that it is ideally adapted to a short lot. The interior is at¬ tractively arranged, the living and dining rooms on one side separated by a colonnade with the two bedrooms and bath on the other. The front entrance opens into the vestibule and there is also a roomy kitchen, pantry and back porch.

The combination of brick with timbered stucco, the quaint chimney with its old- fashioned chimney pots, and the distinctive windows lead us to look for similar quaintness in the interior. This is altogether a matter of individual taste. The floor plan is up to date and spacious, containing not less than three bed¬ rooms, besides the kitchen, dining room and living room, with fireplace. Overall dimensions are 39 feet by 43 feet.

Little features that are appreciated are the long windows admitting an abundance of light and air, a vestibule and a conveniently placed ward¬ robe.
