THE LONG, STRAIGHT LINES OF this trim two-storey house, together with the use of glass block at the right of the front porch and in the centre window on the second floor, are typical characteristics of contemporary architectural design. The corner window is an attractive feature.

AND HERE IS A TYPICAL COLONIAL, house, with the white exterior, gubled roof and many-paned windows

that make a home designed in this period so charming. Inside, its floor plans are substantially the same as in
