A cosy american colonial inspired cottage from 1938

This cosy american colonial inspired cottage from 1938 was designed by architect Willard B. Smith Jr. The texture of the contrasting weathered stone blends the chimney and entrance together against the softer effects of stained wood shingles on the main body of home. 


The living-room is ample in size, and it is sheltered from cold air, drafts and unexpected intrusions by the large vestibule. The unusually high wondows at the end run enarly up to the vaulted ceiling, a french door opens onto the terrace and the single front window allows a view of the street and yet maintains privacy. The small hall separates it from the dining-room. Also on the hall is a built-in china closet. The kitchen is both close to and carefully segregated from both the sleeping quarters and entrance. Bedrooms have their own corridor and the bathroom is located between them. One extra bedroom and bathrom are on the second story to be used as a maid's or guest room, or even for another child bedroom. The basement has a heating room with a fuel bin, a laundry and drying room and a multifunctional room to use as you please. Also there is a small storage for fruits and vegetables.
