To Aid Craftsmen. H In its surver (he congress will | seek to ascertain the names and ad- dre s of all field workers in the building industry, who are qual to perform and are performing s services i crafts: the names all builders, ors or other employers who encourage such work- ers and afford them opportunities to | do their best and to improve them- selves and the names and addresses of all archite and engineers who | encourage their co-workers in the | service of ow: and the community | to become better craftsmen or \\orln-‘ ers. | The Philadelphia Building Congress’ | object is to enable the building and | construction industry to promote the | general welfare i discovering, through scientific surveyvs, the needs of the public and of the industry; by finding and recommending wavs and means of satisfying these needs, by defining ‘sroup functions and har- monizi group activities through of ethics industry 2 able the interest public a dustry and conformable to | rooms were awkwardl AN ATTRACTIVE AND ARTISTIC HOME TACHED GARAGE WHICH CAN BE BUILT ON A NARROW LOT IF NECESSARY The architects first problem in the designing of a small house is to get the interior as complete as possible and to make the walls rise from the required arrangement of rooms as symmetrically as possible. Of course, the easiest and least expensive form of construction for a small heuse is that of a box. But who wants to live in a box? 1In order to get an interest- ing silhouette in a two-story house, omething must be done to get rid of the box effect Now add to this problem that of the narrow lot. If the finished solution is in the least interesting we have to bow gracefully to the architect, for | he has overcome a difficult problem. The usual fault of a “two-story, narrow lot” house is that it looks too | tall and narrow, and therefore out of proportion. This house will not be condemned for any of these reagons, It is certainly not a' “box,” nor does it look petty or cramp: it fhe arranged in- side. Its whole appearance is pleas- antly generous and artistic, The garage always presents a hard problem for the architect when it is to be built as an integral part of the house. We ture, but the honesty of its wide doors usually proclaims the gara exist- ence all too sharply. To make the wide doors less conspicuous jn this y for design we have indented them slightly | and covered the face of the building with a trellis, so that vines may fringe the doorway and break the se- vere outline. This arrangement also an extremely convenient porch, as may be noticed by the plan.
