House Destynations Should Be| ‘Where {hey Can Be Seen. Did yot ever drive up and down a street, carning your neck to find a certain house number? Or, if walking, how many steps have you furtively vou sneaked across in an effort to find the hidden and almost indiscernible numbers? According to Guy Carter Ellis, in a recent ma ine article, there are three things which must be considered if the purpose of house numbering is not to be defeated: location, contrast | of color and night visibility. Custom and usage have prescribed that the house number shall be on or just above the front door of the house, but if the front door is set in a deep recess of the porch, or if the house sits far back in the grounds or high the street, the front door is a | poor place. And because most people travel in automobiles and be- cause the human eye cannot see through the top of a car, the house number should not be too far above the level glance of the passerby.
