Text Appearing Before Image:
c-complishment is rare.In the matter ofexterior design andexpression there ismnch room for im-p rove m e n t. Thecheapness of cementstncco and galvan-ized iron, and thereadiness with whichthese lend themselvesto ornament, haveled to a tendency toward over-decoration, and to a neglect of simplicity, proportion and goodscale. Heavy, stupid copies of the missions, without the charm of the old work,seem regrettably numerous. Equally unfortunate has been the importation fromEurope of certain bizarre and trivial mannerisms which are the offspring andsuccessors of LArt Nouveau. There also is a sort of style imported from theMiddle \\est and consisting chiefly of plate glass and horizontal lines, whichenjoys a wide vogue and a quite inexplicable reputation for originality. With-out doubt our domestic architecture is suffering from the taint of egotism inthe designers which causes them to express their own peculiarities rather thanthe uses of the l)uilding and the personality of its occupants.
Text Appearing After Image:
WHISTLERS HOUSE. CHELSEA. EXGLAXD Another point which should engage our notice is that many houses, by lackof varietv and emphasis in the design and arrangement of windows, give unilueprominence to the minor rooms and those of occasional use. while the real lifeof the family appears to be crowded into a small corner of the place. By suit- The .In-ltilcct ami Engineer 45
