In enlarging the houses it was usual to prolong the main axis of the building, pro- ducing long, low lines with roofs at different levels. Very often the addition was larger than the original building, as in the old house near Cecilton, above, where we have three distinct divisions, the smaller section being probably the original. Sometimes, however, wings were car- ried out to the rear, as in the old house near Kingston, below, but the treatment of the intersection of the roofs and grouping of... gables was always somewhat similar and forms one of the charms of these simple buildings. 8IKv'7^'. *f|&y '^ ^^fH ^ ^^^(■H 3 4^ JH mm^^iW'-m'''^' 'mw-^ W>i!^^, A ^ rw J^ * 1 ■^^ ■ ■SmSgr'- jgm'^ J t 'l m LilL mm OLD HOUSE NEAR KINGSTON, MARYLAND.

As was very often the case where the early settlers became more prosperous and sought more commodious surroundings, the building was extended and the entire construc- tion covered with White Pine siding, and with this protection many excellent examples of the first houses erected in this country have been preserved.
