The garage will be attached to the main part of the house, over which a den will be built. This new idea of garage arrangement has proved a practical step in recent home construction. The porch of this home is s0 designed as to afford an unre- stricted view over Rock Creek Park Valley and to permit sunlight and air to enter the living room and second- floor bedroom. A double brick chimney typical of this architecture, with terra cotta flue linings, will be built on the outside of the house, extending from its concrete base at the lot level bevond the roof.
