The lower price attached to each design has frequently been

realized, while the higher has never been exceeded. We wish,

however, to emphasize the fact the cost of any building is

mainly dependent on the cost of materials and labor where the

building is located. Variations of 25 to 50 per cent, are

House at Elmira, N. Y., built in 1887-8.

Brick, first story; frame above. This arrangement of the

shown, five chambers, bath-room, large attic, laundry, etc.,

complete. Hot water heat. Plumbing the best obtainable.

Finished in native woods; fine cabinet finish. Cost, $4,000

to $6,500. Painting.

The appearance of all buildings depends as much on the

color as on the form. A very commonplace house may be

made quite attractive b}r a judicious use of colors in painting,

and a very attractive design may be seriously marred by poor

coloring. The infinite variety of color at command is all good

if properly used, but don’t use many colors on one building.

A safe rule is to use shades of the same color. Paint the body;'

one color and trim with one or two shades of the same. In

general don’t use slate or drab thinking “they are modest

colors.’’ They have a cold deadening effect unless enlivened

by warmer colors in the surroundings. Don’t paint the same

colors as neighboring houses. Don’t follow the “popular craze”

in color at any time. Don’t paint your house, which is entire¬

ly different in size, form and surroundings, a color which looked

well on some other house, unless that color is appropriate to

your house and surroundings, and don’t forget the effect of the

1 surroundings on the color selected to paint your house.
