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

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.
