pane window within it. Mr. Clark has provided a picture of the door he proposes to install,
pending your approval.

Ame,tica?i Houses Since ipp: Modern
MINIMALTRADITIONAL (ca. 1935-5o)
With the economic Depression of the 1930s cattle this compromise style
which reflects tile form of traditional Eclectic houses, but lacks their deco-
rative detailing. Roof pitches are ION;' or intermediate, rather than steep as
in the preceding Tudor style. Eaves arid rake are close, rather than over-
hanging as in the succeeding Ranch style. Usually, but not always, there is
a large chimney and at least one front -facing gable, both echoing Tudor
features. in fact, many examples suggest Tudor cottages with the roof
line lowered and detailing removed. These houses were built in great nurn-
hers in the years immediately preceding and following World War 11; they
commonly dominate the large tract -housing devc1oprocuts of the period.
As the photographs show, they were built of wood, brick, stone, or a mix-
ture of these wall -cladding materials. Although most were relatively small
one-story houses, occasional two-story examples are also seen. More tour
monly, two-story houses of the period have extra detailing and represent
late examples of one of the traditional Eclectic styles, usually Colonial Re-
vival or Monterey.
