Exterior Building Materials
By Arthur C. Claasaa.
T
HERE Is no part of a home
that offers a more Interest
ing study in the combination
of its material than ths ex
terior. There Is no part of
a hom to which more atten
tion should be given than to
the exterior, for upon the proper selec
tinn and us of the materials, in the ex
terior wall of a home depends, to a large
extent. Its appearance, pleasing or other
wise. The more a home builder enters Into
the study of exteriors the more amazed
he becomes, at the numberless materials
and combinations of materials used In
homes previously erected by both artis
tic and misguided people who on the
one hand strive for something beautiful
and on ths other for something odd or
"different" from tho rest.
It would be hard to toll which class la
originated the most combination. The
most common exterior is the one on which
iap siding; has been used, but all lap sid
ing is not put on the same. The cheapest,
of course, is the ordinary drop siding
used on barns, which gives a fdr too
ordinary appearance to be considered for
a house. Then there is the six-Inch white
pine siding laid four to five Inches to
tho weather. Variations from this la
narrower siding laid two to three Inches
to tha weather, also alternate Wide and
narrow strips. Then one occasionally sees
special siding laid one Inch thick at the
thickest end and eight or ten Inches to
ths weather. This is used only on a se
verely plain colonial house Intended to
look as though put up "in those good
old days" when workmen wars hsndl
capped by a Inck of tools, which made
their work necessarily crude. To. the
writer, however, there is more character
to such a wall than to one on which
narrower siding has been used. In get
ting away from the all-sided house the
first variation Is usually to side the walls
up half way, or to a belt cornlc on a
line with the porch cornice, and to use
shingles from there up. When this Is
done the wall shingles should be stained
to harmonise with both siding below and
roof above. White cedar shingles or
cypress shingles are ths best for both roof
and walls. Dimension shingles are usually
used for the walls (shingles all of the
same width), though as a matter of fact
they look if anything better when laid
the same as on the roof. Too much regu
larity or repetition of ths same thing is
not as attractive as a wall with a little
variety and character to It. To this end
some designers prefer to wave each line
of shingles a trifle In order to overcome
slightly the stiffness of the parallel line
effect. ,
.Shingles are very attractive when used
as the exterior for cottages or bungalow
Shingles are usually laid five Inohes to
the weather for side walls, but there are
variations to this rule. A pleasing way
to break tip the sameness of a shingled
residence Is to lay them In alternate
courses of two inches and eight inches

to the weather. Another way la to lay
each second, third or fourth course
double, thereby making a deeper shadow
under tho double course which gives a
character to tho wall that Is hardly com
prehended until seen.
Another combination of mnterlals now
becoming popular is ts shingle the
lower half of the house and plaster the
upper half with cement, either In the
natural gray or tinted. Cement plaster
when used on the exterior of a frame
wall Is or ought to be) applied to ex
panded metal or wire lath which has been
furred out from the sheathing to Insure
a good foundation. Of the truly rustic
exteriors Tew can equal a wall of cobble
stones or field stones. To lay these prop
erly, however. Is almost an art. The
mason will either try to make ths wall
look too good and get them laid up too
regular or hs will do It carelessly and
get the mortar Joints too wide. Either
extreme should be avoided. A cobble
stone 'wall should bo at least eighteen
Inches thick In order to be able to use
large stones in places. It is a peculiar
Tact that It does not look well to use
a cobble stone wall up two stories. It Is
best to usa It only up the first story,
and to shingle the wall from there up.
The remaining atyles for exteriors are
In various combinations of masonry.
Masonry walls are of three classes. The
solid wall of one material. The masonry
wall backed with one material and faced
with another, and the veneered wall with
frame construction for the support of
ths floors. The most permanent and satis
factory Job, ts of course, a solid masonry
wall, but this is nt the same time ths
most expensive. When a solid masonry
wall Is used. It Is best to .furr In from
it on the Inside with one-Inch nailing
strips for tho lath and plaster Instead of
plastering directly on the wall. It In
sures a dryer and warmer wall.
Masonry walls are sometimes used In
combination with frame walls, as, for
example, n cobblestone, brick or cement
on brick for the first story and a shingled
wall for the second story, with a wood
belt course between and wood cornice.
Then, too, one often sees the brick and
cement, combination. Many attractive
combinations can bo hnd In well studied
brickwork. Sonio of these are obtained
by using one or more of Hie many dif
ferent bonds In brickwork and others by
contrast of odor between the bricks and
mortar Joints. It In in the latter that the
architect so often falls short of his ex
pected successful combination. It Is not
enough to select bricks of fine texture
and color, they must be laid right, with
Juinta of the proper color and wall pointed
up. Very beautiful combinations are
sometimes obtained by using very ordi
nary bricks if they arc properly laid. Tho
writer recalls a very beautiful and pala
tial hums In the Kngllsh style In which
an ordinary and uneven slxed brick was
used, railed "rain drop" brick. It Is a
brick of a very dark color and derives
its unusual name from tho fact that Its
surface appears as though It had stood
out In a hard rain when It was soft. This
brick was used In combination with mas
sive hand curved woodwork and dressed
stone. The effect was at once unlaue
and beautiful. Bricks should never be
laid up In mortar of their own color, as
It gives the wall too tame and ordinary
appearance.
