In All Things, Art

of no particular pedigreehousing, really,
not architecture, certainly not art. My parents were buying a roof and
just enough room, a decent yard. Maybe they would spring for new
carpeting, or wallpaper for the dining room. Then, we lived there, with
no further thought to interior design or collections.
My first encounter with the old-house mystique was when, in first
grade in New Jersey, I met Barbara and started going over to her house.
It was a colonial-era Dutch house; Barbaras grandmother, the town
librarian, proudly told me it dated to 1693. (The center room did, the one
that was always cold. Most of the house was ca. 1710, the kitchen wing
built perhaps a hundred years later.) For me, it was love at first sight. The
staircase was dark and medieval, with troughs worn
in its tread nosings; I was quite sure ghosts were
watching. Barbaras bed tucked into a steep eave
under the roof. The yard was large by local standards,
with hidden caves in vast rhododendrons.
That wonderful house was, nevertheless, a
vernacular residencedifferent, interesting, old
enough to be respected, but simple and pragmatic.
I discovered home as an art form in my 20s, in a
black-and-white monograph by Randell Makinson, then Director of the Gamble House. Imagine
a time when very few people even had heard of
Greene & Greene. My jaw dropped as I browsed the pages. I swear I
felt pinprick tears come to my eyes. It wasso utterly fantastic. What
was this?
At that moment, the country was in long-gas-lines, reduce-reuserecycle mode. Preservationists were scrambling to explain the concept
of embodied energy: all that old-growth wood and those bricks hold
the energy consumed by all the processesmining, felling, milling,
transportation, and construction laborused to build them.
Yes, old houses are embodied energy. But some houses are
embodied soul.

New Home for Dirks Tools

Fascinated by the coppersmithing of Dirk van Erp since adolescence, high-end antiques dealer Gus Bostrom received an unexpected opportunity four years ago, when van Erps grandson
walked into his Berkeley shop.
Bill van Erp invited Bostrom to see the familys collection,
which included all of the Arts & Crafts coppersmiths original tools,
workbenches, and display furniture. They had been kept together by
Forrest L. Merrill, whod been best friends with the elder van Erps
son. Promising never to sell the tools and to use them for educational purposes, Bostrom struck a deal with Merrill and the van Erp
family. The result is the nonprot Dirk van Erp Foundation, established in 2014. We have it as our mission to continue the legacy by
educating younger craftsmen, says Bostrom, the owner of California Historical Design (acstickley.com) and author of Bay Area Copper
19001950 and Dirk van Erp.
With van Erps tools as a backdrop, the foundation hosts a
workshop museum thats open on Saturdays at the store. Coppersmith Matthew Mackie, a stogie clamped in his lips, takes on the role
of van Erp as he demonstrates the techniques that made the early
20th-century coppersmith an icon of the Arts & Crafts movement.
I moved to Berkeley so I could use the tools, says Mackie,
whose talents extend to jewelry, knife making, ceramics, and any
kind of metalwork. Two years ago I unboxed them and started
hammering with them that day.
A large part of the foundations mission is for skilled metalworkers to teach younger ones the tricks of the trade, using
the precious van Erp tools. I taught myself this stuff, says
Mackie, noting that among other gigs, he built parts for the
space shuttle fleet. I dont want to die with this knowledge.
I want to share it. Dirk van Erp Foundation, (510) 647-3621,

Mountains at Sunset
Based in mountainous western North Carolina, stained-glass artist Dianne Lee often features mountain
vistas in her work. Each mountain has its own signature, says Lee, who was recently chosen to create
an installation for the historic elevators at the 1913 Grove Park Inn in Asheville. Lees design for the
elevators, renovated in the style of Greene & Greene, will incorporate a view of Sunset Mountain, where
the inn is located. Stained Glass Bungalow, (828) 400-4002, stainedglassbungalow.com

That in itself should make investing in the right one a priority, especially if your
home is weighed down with an older steel or berglass model out of sync with
the architecture of the house. Architecturally intriguing options for the garage
have never been so plentiful, or available at so many price points. Manufacturers have continued to improve the looks of their products so that even a simulated wood door looks a lot more realistic than those of just a few years ago.

The newest designs not only reect favorite styles and design
motifs of the past, but also are state of the art in durability and
ease of care. Many basic doors also come with an R-value for
insulation of at least 6, while some custom doors are rated at
R-16 or even R-18. An added bonus in hurricane-prone areas is
rating for wind resistance and high wind loads.
Since most garage doors are sold and installed by local
companies, choose a contractor who offers doors from manufacturers youve explored and liked online. At least one manufacturer, Clopay, offers a home imagination feature to help
you visualize what a new door will look like on your home. (You
upload a recent photo, then click to try out different designs
and variations.)
For an early 20th-century home, the most period-appropriate designs will be wood, simulated wood, or a paintable
composite. With all three options, the door is engineered with
a real wood or wood-look exterior surface, backed by a highR-value polystyrene core (sometimes with a thermal break),
and sealed on the interior with either wood, plywood, steel, or a
composite material. (Of course, the interior appearance can be
upgraded for those desiring a nished interior or man cave.)
A well-made wood door will have the benets of insulation
and a durable interior nish, but look as beautiful as the original millwork in your house. Everite, for instance, uses superior
woods and deep mortise-and-tenon joints on its custom series.
When closed, these grooved panel doors from NEWwoodworks

look like old-fashioned swing-out doors, but they actually
fold away, permitting a wide opening for this boathouse.
Woods and nishes are selected for their longevity. Staingrade doors are usually tted out in a choice of luxury and more
economical tropical woods (African mahogany versus sapele,
for instance), as well as Spanish or Western red cedar, Douglas
r, various types of cypress, teak, or even black walnut.
Simulated or faux wood doors are made with a woodgrain textured composite overlay. Recent technical innovations

Paint-grade wood doors are made from an exterior-grade,

Once youve chosen a basic door you like, the surface appearance may be congured in almost any panel or plank trim

renovations often will start with a basic design from a trusted
maker, and then tweak it to match the architectural elements
on the house.
Most door designs begin with surface millwork in traditional patterns (e.g., beadboard, raised-panel, tongue-and-

such as horizontal and vertical boards, cross braces, half braces, or curved half braces.
A row of windows across the top of the door is also an
early 20th-century tradition. Usually this is in a row of twoover-two squares or rectangles, but Arts & Crafts-style doors
may have a single row of elongated rectangles. Even if youve
chosen a modern roll-up door, its possible to further the illusion that its a swing-out model by placing dividers between the
windows at the midpoint of the door. More affordable dividers

will be simulated divided lights; true divided lights are available
as an upgrade. As for glazing, options include clear, tempered,
or insulated glass, plus seedy, glue-chip and other traditional
types of patterned glass.
The nishing touch is hardware. Going far beyond the
basic lock and lift set, options today include the purely decorative (clavos, window grilles, and strap hinges, for example) as
well as functional (entry sets, operable hinges, and rollers). a

fancy-cut wood shingles on Queen

Anne homes, especially at the gablejust one of many
exuberant accents. Architects favored continuous rows
of cedar shingles to wrap the walls, towers, and eyebrow
windows of their Shingle Style cottages. While earlier styles lend
precedent for shingle patterns used on Arts & Crafts houses, the overall effect is subtler on a bungalow or Foursquare.
Certainly, the most common use of shingles was the straightforward laying of evenly butted rows of tightly spaced shingles marching across the faade. Sometimes simple works best, especially when
paired with architectural elements that tend to stand out, like massive
porch piers and airplane-hangar trusses. In other cases, the modest
bungalow or the grand architectural statement gets a slightly different
look through minor variations in how the shingles are cut, laid, or both.
Like clapboards, shingles are tapered, cut to be thinner at the
top and thicker towards the bottom (butt). Again like clapboards,
they are installed in overlapping rows, exposing several inches of the

course below with each succeeding row

of shingles. Since there are gaps (called
keyways) between each shingle, its important to stagger the next row. That way,
the overlapping shingles fall so that all
the exposed keyways in the course below
are completely covered.
Like clapboards, courses of shingles throw horizontal shadow lines. As an
added textural feature, the keyways create
a vertical element in the overall composition of a shingled exposure. Thats the
reason shingled facades seem to have a
rhythmic quality, even when the shingles
are installed as simply as possible.
Varying that rhythm while maintaining the purpose of the shinglesthat
is, to shed water and protect the house
is easier than you might think. Simply
varying the exposure of the butt ends
or the width of the keyway can lead to a
dramatically different appearance overall.

Here are the popular historic variations
on Arts & Crafts houses:
DOUBLE COURSING In this method,
each course is two shingles thickin

effect, doubled upto create a deeper
shadow line. It is especially dramatic
when used with fancy cut shingles.
RIBBON COURSING In this technique,
the exposed depth of shingle rows varies
between courses to create a series of alternating wide or narrow bands. Depending on preference, the narrow bands can
be very tight and the wide bands broad,
or anywhere in between. Ribbon coursing was also used with clapboards, as on
the Gould house, a 1924 design by Ultimate Bungalow architects Henry and
Charles Greene.

KEYWAY VARIATIONS Simply eliminating or enlarging the gap between

shingles alters the look of the house as
well. A pattern variation popularized by
the Greene brothers was to create a keyway gap of about " between even-butted shingles. The effect is quite different
from butting the shingles closely together. Another technique, especially in shallow gables, is to create an inverted ziggurat effect by laying staggered rows of
shingles with wide keyways.
LONG EXPOSURE Another Greene &
Greene technique was the use of oversized

shingles with exposures much longer than
the typical 3" to 7" used in most shingle
sidewalls. Although theyre visually long,
the shingles are in perfect proportion for
the scale of a massive yet graceful structure like the Gamble House. a

WINDOW BOXES
in the WINDY CITY
A very pretty accoutrement long ago went missing on many a
Chicago brick bungalow. Some are back, looking better than ever.
by Brian D. Coleman
hicago is famous for its

architecturefrom gleaming
skyscrapers to Oak Parks
Prairie School homes. Did you
know that the regions bungalows, too, are
unique? About 100,00 brick bungalows
(dating to after the great re) were built
between 1910 and 1940 in the bungalow belt, an arc sweeping from the citys
mid-section to outlying suburbs; bungalows make up over a third of the regions
modern housing stock. Set on Chicagos
long and narrow lots, the single-family,
mostly working-class homes were solidly
built of yellow or red brick with limestone
accents. They were modern, up-to-date
homes, always with front lawns and small
gardens, which also embraced Arts &
Crafts tenets. Masonry faades were laid

with projecting stone corbels meant to
hold a window box (which was optional).
Over time, the boxes were ditched
as high-maintenance relics of a bygone
era. With the revival of bungalow living,
planting window boxes and front-stoop
urns has come back in a big way.
The original box containers were
made of unpainted cast stone or concrete, often detailed with geometric
bands or scrolls. Replacing them in kind
can get priceythey cost $400 and up. A
concrete box is appropriate (it blends in
even when empty), develops patina, and
is too heavy to steal. But drainage may
not be adequate, you have fewer options
for size, plants will need more frequent
watering, and the box may crack during

freeze-thaw cycles.
Wood, commonly cedar, is the most
popular material today and easier on the
budget ($50 and up). Design and color
options abound, wood is easier to move,
plants stay cooler and better drained. But
wood does require renishing every few
years. Metal, berglass, and PVC planters
are also sold today. These are very economical and can be painted. (Plastic must be
kept painted to avoid fading and cracking.)
Paint color may match window trim; or
choose a neutral color that complements
the masonry and doesnt compete with
the plants. Liners protect the wood and
maintain moisture longer; a simple plastic box liner also makes planting easier.

THRILLERS, FILLERS & SPILLERS

Plant expert Jackie Rifce says the best window boxes
have a combination of annual and perennial plants to
provide color and bloom longevity. Gardeners refer to container selections as thrillers, llers, and spillers. Thrillers rise dramatically as focal points. Fillers soften the base
and add fullness. Spillers cascade over the sides.
Evenings are cool in Chicago (Zone 5) until June, so
dont plant too early. Use a clean, organic, mixed potting
medium developed for containers. Loosen root balls; dont
plant too deep, but do crowd plants a bit for lushness in a
short season.

Size is critical for these boxes,

which should extend several inches beyond the corbels, and rise approximately the height of short windows and 15
the height of tall windows. Measure the
width of the window or group of windows, also the supports from outside
edge to edge, and their depth front to
back. Next measure the height from the
top of the corbel to the lower edge of the
sill; if the distance between sill and brackets is less than 10", also measure sill projection. You might make a cardboard cutout of the proposed box front, setting it
on corbels to check size and proportion.
If the corbels are still there, just
set the box on them. Filled with soil, it
should be heavy enough to stay put. For
other houses, wooden brackets are appropriate and may be painted to match
the siding or the box. Cleats (interlocking brackets placed on the wall and the
back of the window box) make an invisible hanging system. If theres concern
about the box shifting or falling, perhaps because of wind load or structural
issues, do attach the back of the box to
the masonry with lag bolts.
Selecting plants is the fun part.
Consider how many hours of full sun
the box will get. Be honest about commitment: will you deadhead every day?
Combine plants that offer height, low
massing, and a vining or cascading
habit. A wand with a ratcheting head
allows even watering without damaging
blooms. Self-watering systems (with
hollow pipe to wick water) cut watering
maintenance by a third, and take over
when you go on vacation: Flower Window Boxes Wickinator system comes
highly recommended. a

A RESCUE
Charmed by the diminutive house

down the street, a couple embarks
on its restoration, reversing a midcentury Colonial-style remodeling.
BY REGINA COLE | PHOTOS BY GRIDLEY + GRAVES
town of 4,000 people about 20 miles southeast of

Cleveland, it has the storybook name Chagrin Falls.
Sam and Kathleen live here, in a wonderful, friendly neighborhood, says Sam. One day, in fact, as Sam
worked in the garden, a man walking by stopped to comment.
You have a Sears kit house, he told his new neighbor. It was
called the Argyle. Quite delighted, Kathleen and Sam went to
their local library and found a copy of a 1919 Sears Homes catalog:
indeed, there was the familiar house plan.
The couple found the bungalow charming long before they
bought itthey used to live just down the street. Wed walk by
it and Kathleen would say, Thats the house were going to retire
in, Sam remembers. She works as a registered nurse, but she
should have been an interior designer. She was moving furniture

around when she was eight years old, she knows what colors go
with what and she has a great eye for design. (Sam, for his part,
is an emergency-room doctor.)
Kathleens eye had been drawn repeatedly to the diminutive cottage surrounded by an overgrown garden. In 2006,
when it went on the market, the couple bought the house and
rented it out. But by 2013 theyd sold the bigger house where
theyd raised their kids, and moved into the cottage, which sits
in a historic district.
The Sears kit had been shipped here via railroad and, in
1920, put up for a local man named Frank Eggleston, Sam explains. His name was stenciled on all the various house parts;
we found those stencils when we did some work on the house.
The couple installed a new roof and new siding, and removed a small portico that was part of a Colonializing of the
house in the mid-20th century. Kathleen always said that the
entry porch looked wrong, Sam says. She wanted to replace it

with something heftier and not centered. Lo and behold, when
we saw those pictures of the Argyle in the Sears catalog, the
original porch was exactly as she said it should be.
The renovation was overseen by Clemens Pantuso Architecture in Chagrin Falls. The house, now offering 1,750 square
feet, had had just one bedroom; a second was added at the rear
in 1978. Its ceiling was removed to gain height at the rafters for
a greater sense of space. The garage was rebuilt to turn it into
guest bedroom furnished with a Murphy bed; it connects to the
house through a laundry and mudroom addition. A wall between the kitchen and the dining room was removed, the master bathroom enlarged, and the houses beautiful quarter-sawn
oak trim restored. All the oak mouldings and trim were there,
but had been painted with blue-grey paint, says Sam. It took
a long time to strip all the door and window casings.

With the help of an enthusiastic crew of craftspeople,

Sam and Kathleen installed a new kitchen featuring quarter-sawn oak cabinets, which Sam designed to match the original millwork. For design inspiration, we looked at magazines
and books picturing Arts & Crafts cabinets and millwork, he
says. They chose green and black granite for the countertops,
with travertine tile laid in a herringbone pattern for the oor.
Sam is a passionate gardener whose renewal took two
years, resulting in an informal, colorful cottage garden suitably
lled with old-fashioned owers and plants. An ancient lilac
was growing under the chimney, Sam says. I moved it and
it came right back. Nothing says old-house garden like lilacs.
Throughout, the couple was delighted by the quality of

the original building. Yet it was designed and built so well that
a reasonably skilled handyman could put it all together, Sam
says. I never thought that I would have so much fun working
on a house! Kathleen adds, Its cozy and just feels so comfortable. We love living here!
Their crew became fond of the house, too. My carpenter,
Jason Perry, said, after eight months on the job, Sam, this has
been one of those four or ve jobs in my career where everything clicks, where Im excited to come to work and I am so
proud of the job we have done together. Its almost a shame
that its ending.
For Sam and Kathleen, however, this is just the beginning of their time enjoying the bungalow. a

shows how the cottage sensibility can be preserved even when a vacation cabin
becomes a year-round home, updated with modern
amenities. Working within the strict guidelines of
the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway, which are regulated by the federal government as well as local townships,
David Heide Design Studio put a handsome new face on the
house while retaining original features. The board-and-batten
siding remains, enhanced now with shingles on the second level and a cedar-shake roof. Heide had to stay within the original
footprint, and so raised the roof ridge three feet and added dormers to create a second oor. Now bungalow rooines envelop the forest-color exterior with its whimsical cottage shutters.
The steeper pitch allowed conversion of the childrens loft into
a new master suite, a guest suite, and a laundry room.
The Scenic Riverway guidelines go beyond setbacks,
David Heide explains. They essentially demand that the houses be discreet, if not invisible, when viewed from the river. Materials and colors must reect nature, height is restricted, as is

a Sheetrock box but with some cabin-like details, including

knotty-pin paneling. My clients had added some wood details
over the years. Doug and Ann McMillan bought the cabin in
Hudson, Wisconsin, in the early 1990s, using it as a family
summer getaway. But 20 years later they were spending more
time at the place and decided to upgrade.
Our original intention was to create a master bedroom
with a bathroom that would work in cooler months, Ann says.
But during the remodeling we missed a summerthe project
was complete in September. So Doug and I moved in just to take
advantage of the remaining good weather. We never returned to
St. Paul! The couple, in fact, sold their other house.
The familys everyday kitchen is in its original location,

and still has the stainless-steel cabinet interiors, drawers, and
countertops installed by the rst owner, who was a metal fabricator. But now it opens through new French doors to a deck,
and has a peninsula and seating areas embellished with Arts
& Crafts tiles by Motawi. The foyer was recongured and the
staircase changed for better ow and access to the new suite
above. Heides elegant design solutions were quite extensive,
but relatively subtle; they changed our quality of life, Ann says.
The team generated ideas we never would have thought of.
The overow kitchen downstairs was recongured using
original materials, then given cottage charm with forest-theme

wallpaper and a pair of cutout shutters to separate it from the

family room. It comes in handy, Ann says, providing additional storage, ovens, and workspace for caterers during big
family gatherings. The room is immediately accessible to an
outdoor terrace and the path to the river. Square backsplash
and wainscot tiles here are from North Prairie Tileworks; the
paper is Evergreen from Thibaut.
Before, the house had an open loft, with two twin beds
tucked into the space left between knee walls at the eaves. With
the raised roof and four large, shed-roof dormers for headroom,
the new second oor accommodates bedrooms and a laundry
area. The master bedroom is long and narrow; Heide placed
the bed closer to the windows and backed it with a custom
dresser, dividing the room into sleeping and dressing spaces.
The dresser was inspired by tramp art, a folk art practiced
ca. 1870 to 1940 and given the whimsical name, appropriately
enough, during the 1950s, by antiques dealers. Like the old picture frames and decorative pieces, the dresser is chip-carved,
and inlaid with mirrors and stone. Behind it, doors open to
walk-in closets from a dressing area with a built-in bench seat.

The room is further divided by a r beam supported on tree
trunks, a detail that also appears on the staircase.
Behind the dressing area, the master bath has a spacious
lavatory with twin facing sink counters; a door opens to a separate shower and toilet. The knotty pine vanities by a local company, and new skylights with leaf motifs, celebrate the forest
setting. (LED lights lining the skylights allow the glass pattern
to be seen at night.) The Stark wallpaper is a contemporary
interpretation of William Morriss Honeysuckle pattern. The
marble tile oor was set in a traditional basket-weave pattern
over radiant heat.
The owners say they had a master plan created for the site
during the 1990s, after a terrible storm took out many of the old
white pines. I have a degree in landscape architecture, Ann
condes, and Ive tried to maintain the original design, but I
cant resist the temptation to experiment with new plants and
colors. Wearing cedar shakes and old-fashioned green shutters, the quietly updated house nestles into this lovely setting. a
AN ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDEN
in northern California
In the classic Arts & Crafts landscape surrounding a Tudor manor south
of San Francisco, vistas provide grandeur, garden rooms intimacy.

Near the house, garden rooms are formal. Centered in a grass island on the rear terrace, an antique, carved stone planter is the

English country house looked like it had

been there since at least the 1920s (in fact, it was
built in 1973). Set on ve acres south of San Francisco, its original landscape plan had been laid out
by renowned 20th-century landscape designer Thomas Church.
Even after almost a half-century, it remained a testament to his
genius. A long, winding entrance drive led to the house through
groves of coastal live oak and past stretches of lawn, lending
a stately presence. Already, a series of outdoor rooms afforded multiple viewpoints around the property, and broad terraces
helped integrate the handsome stone Tudor into its surroundings. But by the time the current owners purchased the property
some years ago, the gardens needed reinvigorating. Several of
the once majestic live oaks, so important for privacy, were in
decline; a specimen stone pine, long a focal point, had been
lost in a winter storm. Around the pool, the perennial gardens
needed reworking, and the kitchen and cutting gardens were
tired. Working with landscape designer Stephen Suzman (who
is now with Zeterre Landscape Architecture), these owners restored the property over the next decade, carefully preserving
Churchs design while updating sympathetically.
HE RAMBLING
A gracefully winding drive sets a tone of anticipation. It

was now given more emphasis, including a new entry court
laid in cobblestones, which replaced an asphalt parking strip.
Towering eucalyptus lining the drive were supplemented with
redwoods. Near the house, purpleleaf plum and Pittosporum,
grown unattractive, were removed and replaced with a simplied ground cover of uniformly graded ivy. The homeowners
love specimen trees, Stephen Suzman explains, so he introduced more of them as focal points and as screens to better
enclose and dene different sections of the landscape.
A trio of large swamp oaks (swamp white oak Quercus
bicolor) replaced a giant live oak lost to Armillaria root rot; specimen apple trees were planted to screen the back terrace; a new
horse chestnut and a graceful weeping beech added interest to
the central lawn. Drainage had been problematic as the center
of the property rested in a low basin, and was one of the reasons
the old live oak succumbed; water was rerouted with French
drains and the clay soil supplemented with organic substrate.
The propertys hardscape was updated, more in keeping
with the architecture (rather than the 1970s). Wire-cut brick
pavers on terraces had clashed with the houses color, scale,
LANDSCAPE DESIGNER THOMAS CHURCH

credited with introducing Modernism into landscapes, after World War II, in a fashion that came to be known as California Style
gardens meant for living. The outdoor room was one of the designers signature concepts. In his 1955 book Gardens Are For
People, Church outlined four principles of garden design, all relevant today:
1 UNITY Integrate the house and its gardens together as a

and Tudor character; they were replaced with more attractive

bluestone. Terraces both in front of the house and in the rear
extend the house into the landscape. Lovely stone balustrades
in the front rose garden, original to the design, have been
replicated for back terraces as well, unifying and integrating
the two aspects into a seamless whole.
Suzman added structures throughout for height, and
also to separate and better dene the plantings. Tuteurs and
arbors showcase the roses, while an Asian pear tunnel designed by Suzman, overplanted with climbing roses, creates
an enticing passageway from the front gardens to the working beds on the southern end of the cultivated garden. A new
pergola helps shade and soften the greenhouse.
The rear terrace is a garden room, its walls formed by the
houses lovely diamond casements, over which clamber climbing roses. It is carpeted with a lawn set into the bluestone,
and furnished with a carved stone planter and a fanciful table
designed by English country-house architect Edwin Lutyens.
These owners love the magic in nature, says interior
designer Paul Wiseman, explaining his inspiration for the pair
of custom bronze gates set between two stone pillars at the
start of the garden drive. Decorated with cast birds and animalssquirrels, owls, sparrowsthey set the scene.
Container plantings and pots by Jeanmarie White
Brizio, colorful and lush, were placed throughout the garden
as focal points and bright accents. It has been her masterful
eye overseeing the garden for the past decade that has given
it continued beauty and appeal. a

HONOR BILT HOME

Sears Modern Homes
Argyle interior, 1921
Ca. 19001940, Sears, Roebuck
& Co., among many others
(Montgomery Ward, Aladdin,
GordonVan Tine, Liberty, Keiths,
etc.), sold pre-cut house kits,
crated and delivered by railcar.
The best-selling Argyle, a Sears
bungalow plan, appeared in
catalogs from 1915 until 1926.
TODAYS HOMEOWNERS
are thrilled to nd theirs is a Sears house, particularly when the discovery comes after dedicated sleuthing. (See p. 38.)
When evidence is in an old Honor Bilt or Modern Homes catalog, it may
come with a bonus: interior views! Usually these arent photos, but rather
artistic interpretations based on popular taste and period conventions (and
available Sears furniture). The clientele was largely middle class, but these
room illustrations are aspirationaland thus useful today.
You might look for elements gone missing in the years since the
house was built. The Argyle was tiny, just over 1,000 square feetyet according to Sears copywriters, it would make its owners prouda bungalow whose exterior appearance suggests extra ne interior arrangement
colonnade, the beamed ceiling, the massive brick mantel with the builtin bookcase. Handsome window casings, a wainscot with plate rail, and
leaded glass were part of the package. Its fun, too, to study furniture size
and arrangement, colors, lighting, rugs and curtains. The same illustrations were repeated over a decade or more. a P a t r i c i a P o o r e
