What reading level is The Country House; a Practical Manual of the Planning And Construction of the American Country Home And Its Surroundings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While not so severe as the hall, it can hardly, in good taste, come very close to the full re- laxation of the living room.
On the above basis of relationship we will, as already suggested, make the vestibule simple and severe. The marble or simple tile or mosaic floor is appropriate for this, with forceful doors and little if any decoration.
The hall floor may be paved with tile, marble or mosaic of a character less severe than the vestibule. If hardwood is used, a simple, vigorous border woul...d be in keeping and the wooden panelled dado with panelled stucco walls (pro- vided the walls are not entirely of wood) would carry out well the general feeling of the design. Stucco walls call for a stucco ceiling, or perhaps a beamed ceiling with stucco panels. Beams thus used should have some apparent means of support from the floor, as suggested by the pilaster. In the case of the wooden walls the beamed or panelled ceiling seems imperative. The embellishment should, however, be simple and devoid of flourish.
