Text Appearing Before Image:
ed by Mr. John Stafford White, TunnelRoad, at Walnut Creek, California, for Mr. and Mrs. Edward RawsonPeck. While the exterior of this house, done in shingles, with the picturesque,high-pitched shingled roof, somewhat characteristic of tlie well-knownEnglish cottage style, is amply satisfying, it frankly and logically ex-presses a truly utilitarian and livable plan. The living-room, within whose four walls the life of the familyabounds, is an attractive room of reasonable and satisfying proportions,with a brick open hearth raised twelve inches above an English quarrytile lloor of dull Pompeiian red laid in wide black joints with blackborder. This fireplace is located on the opposite wall from the entranceside and forms naturally the important feature of the room. Tlie walls,together with the beamed ceiling, are done in the natural waxed redwood.The fenestration is particularly attractive, having triple openings tothe south and east extending to the floor. 72 THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER
