A heritage to continue The houses of the early
half of the Twentieth-Century are an enduring heritage to us because of their
quality: fine, substantial materials were used throughout and the workmanship
was usually outstanding. Also, the design and
proportions of the facades were overall, much more tastefully conceived than
the majority of newer post-WWII houses - and up to today. Architects designed
them as the rule rather than the exception, as in the later period. They can however, benefit
from interior changes and additions. The organization of rooms, small
closets, baths and circulation are definitely from a different era; a time
when hired help and a cook worked in the kitchen and service areas, while the
family stayed in the formal rooms. Today, these interiors can be opened up, allowing rooms to flow together for entertaining, gathering in a well appointed kitchen-family room, or enjoying a home theater - the possibilities are endless. |
