Just North of Sherman Circle Between Emerson and Farragut Sts. BY ARTHUR BATES LINCOLN, Architect Home Owners' Institute. The house which is finished in a combination of materials on the ex- terior walls must be very carefully de- signed. Too many times we see houses | on which apparently little thought has been given to architectural charm and the resulting “hodge-podge” of mates rials leads us to wonder if certain mate- rial had run short necessitating the substitution of something else. Every one has heard the statement that a new house should be designed to fit the site. In crowded suburban com- | munities the most important of these factors to be considered are the houses on either side. To cite an instance, if a stucco house stands on one side of your property and a brick one on the other the natural method of tying in with these two suggests the house with brick, stucco and siding in combination. How can these be most pleasantly as- sembled in one house? Brick, because masonry is the heaviest in weight, in- variably occurs at the base of the building. The first floor walls, an ex- | terfor chimney and a small gable, de- pending upon design, may be pleasantly Facing the New Government Park 44 Built Only 3 Left!

The lighter stucco | would serve as a finish for the upper story of the building. Gable ends and dormers, and particularly walls over wide openings, should be lightest in feeling. Siding is an excellent mate- rial to express this airiness. 1If a building plot lies between a stong house on the one hand and a frame dwelling on the other, another happy combination of materials for the new house that will tie the three together into a pleasing unity will be the use of stone for the lower floor and chimney, with shingles used above. Use of white- wash, which washes off on projecting stones to produce a pleasing contrast, is an_effective treatment that makes possible the use of mediocre grades of stone. A stone house because of its sturdy appearance may appear cramped if located on too narrow a plot.
