Property of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Flint, Joliet, Illinois | Architect: Jerome Cerny

If you like the look of traditional architecture but want the convenience of modern planning, this house will interest you. It combines a classic exterior with a flexible, up-to-date floor plan. Although it has a conventional entrance hall flanked by coat closet and powder room, its main living centers around the rear garden. The living room overlooks it from a traditional version of the modern window wall. An adjoining all-purpose room with windows all around is used for television, movies, cards, games, and lounging. Its walls are paneled in spruce and a table can be set up in front of the fireplace for informal meals. From here you can step out onto a grass terrace sheltered by the back wall of the garage. Throughout the whole house, the ceilings are extra-high. Double, paneled front doors, painted Delft blue, and tall corner lanterns give a warm, welcoming look to its pink brick façade. All of the trim is white.
