Maggie's Farm

Another one from the Belmont neighborhood of Nashville.  Who wouldn't want to live in this charming little home?  Look at that front porch - crammed with potted and hanging plants, and with a big white rocking chair just inviting you to sit down with a good book and a tall glass of sweet tea.  And despite its small size, there is great attention to detail in every part of the house, from the windows to the decorative supports for the eaves.  Another quote from the Standard Home Plans catalog from 1926:

"To the wife and children home means infinitely more than to the husband whose duties are elsewhere. To him it is a place for recreation and rest, but to them it is their kingdom. The hearts of many wives will go out to The Bristol, not with selfish designs, but with earnest maternal longings for better conditions for the culture and refinement of their children."
