Dutch Colonial homes were one of the most commonly built subtypes of the Colonial Revival. They are invariably pretty houses with features like six-over-one windows, shutters, and a decorative entrance hood that welcomes anyone who comes upon them. The Rembrandt is no exception.
This is a thoroughly modern house for 1916. Like its
successors built during the 1920s, it has an entrance hall and stairs to
the second floor. The livingroom opens to a small covered porch. The floor
plan is circular and the service entrance opens not only to the kitchen,
but to the livingroom as well. On the second floor, there are four bedrooms
and a large, centrally located bathroom. Possibly the most practical feature
is the pantry which is close to the service entrance. (Imagine bringing
the groceries in the back door and immediately putting them where they belong.)
