Recent Designs in Domestic Architecture
HOUSE IN LEXHAM GARDENS, KENSINGTON

in the district is in course of formation for the much older structure
Recent de-
sig n s in
DOMESTIC
ARCHITECTURE.
“The Tiled House,”
here illustrated, is adjacent
to the “ Studio House,”
of which an interior view
was given in one of our
recent numbers, and con-
trasts strongly with other
houses in the vicinity,
which are mostly of an
early or mid-Victorian
type. But for the fact
that it looks so clean and
fresh by comparison with
its smoke-toned neigh-
bours, the house with its
stone mullioned windows,
leaded light casements,
rough-casted walls, and
roof covered with old
tiles, might pass for a
than these, but as a matter
purpose of taking the matter in hand.
With the Norwegian Folke-Museum at Bygdo,
outside Christiania, which has a national and not
a local character, I have dealt in a previous article,
but since then, thanks
of fact it was only completed about a year ago.
The hall, of which an illustration is given, has a
polished, dark red quarried floor and beamed
ceiling. At the farther end the fireplace, built in
to M. Hans Aall’s able
management, it has
grown into a thoroughly
representative museum.
It nowboasts twenty-eight
old buildings and some
twenty thousand articles.
Space will not allow me
to accompany the illus-
trations with any ex-
planatory letterpress, nor
is such really needed,
inasmuch as the reader
without any difficulty will
recognise similar types
to those already de-
scribed. The Bygdo
Open-air Museum is ex-
tremely interesting, but
its location does not afford
the same scope as does
that of the Maihaugen
and one or two others.
