About the time of the reign of King Goorge I a wave ef Barest swept over England which became manifest In ail things. Including architecture;. Up to that time.

To meet a popular demand for something new Sir Christopher Wren, who remodeled Westminster abbey, and several other equally ramoa architect developed the Idea of using the classic orders somewhat slmpHHed for prrvate homes.

TalL white poets are not necessarily classically designed columns, end do not mean that ths building Is colonial In style. To be distinctly colonial a home must be designed with due regard for harmonious detail and proportion throughout, the front of tho house being vary broad so as to give It good background for the tall portico. Originally ths portico contained no balcony on the second story and while the con venience of such a balcony must be ad mitted, there la no question but what two story columns fro of all balcony Incum brances look th best. - In the northern part of th country th difficulty of this ar rangement Is .. that It cannot be screened.

Far ex ample: The portico never looks well with but three columns; there should slways b aot lose than four columns, leaving three pace between them. If the portico is very wide there should be six columns with five spaces; la other words, always aa even number of columns with aa odd number of space. This result with open space at th canter of th portico and never a col umn. The portico should be placed on the center of the house, preferably oa the front. and each column should be la the classic proportions required tor tbe various orders of architecture.'
