Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homes in City and Country The picture on p. 4 gives the exterior of such a house, taken from one of those now standing on the north Side of Washington Square. The only discrepancy between plan and exterior View is that the latter has a more elaborate entrance; the doorway proper more deeply recessed and decorated with wooden col umns within the recess, while a marble porch decorates the opening in the house-wall. In Baltimore and the more Southern cities a Very different plan of house, and one more nearly approaching the suburban type, was usual. Plan 2 shows the ground-floor of such a house of the smaller and cheaper sort, and it will be seen that such a plan presupposes lower prices for land and the possibility of using, for an eight-thousand or a ten-thousand dollar house, a larger, or at least a wider, lot than New York allowed to a house of twice the cost.
