SOME RECENT DESIGNS IN
DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE.

We give here views of various residential
houses at Pangbourne, Oxon, and North wood,
Harrow, and Great Stanmore, Middlesex, for the
design of which Mr. Arnold Mitchell is respon-
sible, and of some proposed cottages near Market
Drayton from the designs of Mr. Sidney Castle.

until manufacturers realise
that art - school training
must of necessity form
part of the craftsman’s ap-
prenticeship, and until
they understand the in-
timate relationship of art
to manufacture.
