Most ofthe buildings designed by Mr. .Smith make their appeal directly to thel>ublic. T-Te has shown how to build beautifully and profitably on thehillsides by attacking the problem directly and without reference to whatothers would do. And in most of his work one can detect an untrammelledfree attack which sometimes produces odd and unfamiliar results butwhich always goes to the root and yields something vital and interesting. Mr. Smith is most successful, we think, when working in the Missionstyle, whether on the hillside, on the level, or on any mixed site between thetwo. Most interesting among ihesc are the picturesque country ])laces at The Avchitcct and lliii^iiieer. ^ I rilill . ir. /; hliSWEXCE. LOS ALTOSHenry C. Sliulh, Anlulcct
