One of the most import-
ant choices the owner of an
old house can make is his
choice of paint colors.
Quite often people will
select white paint for their
19th Century Victorian
house. This was almost
never done back then
because, according to an
architect of that time,
‘‘White paint glares in the
sun, clashes with the
foliage and the landscape,
and, most important, hides

and other construction
details give houses of this
period their distinctive
character and should be
highlighted.
With the single exception
of the Greek Revival house
common in the South,
houses built between 1850
and 1900 were never
painted white. Instead,
their bodies were painted
in colors harmonizing with
nature and their trim was
painted in at least two or

painted in more mellow
and cheerful shades: large
mansions were painted in
graver shades to express
their greater dignity and
size. The most common
color for general use was
something between a
cream and a dust color,
usually called fawn.
When selecting colors for
the trim, the rule was
simple. If a light shade was
used for the house, a
darker shade of the same
color or a harmonizing

color was used for the
features of the house. If a
dark shade was used, then
a much lighter shade of the
same color or a harmoniz-
ing color was used for the
features. The shutters were
painted in the darkest
shade, dark green or
brown, or stained an oak
finish.
Typical color schemes
included warm gray with
dark grayish-blue and dark
blue, drab with light brown
and dark brown, sage
green with straw and dark
brown, and fawn with
medium brown and dark
green.
Other combinations were
maroon with green and
gray, beige with light
chocolate and dark brown,
light grayish-green with
dark olive green and
reddish-brown, peachy tan
with cream and medium
brown, and maroon with
terra cotta red, peachy tan,
dark green, and chrome
yellow.
To enhance your 19th
century home you should
consider the earth, stone,
clay and wood of nature.
You should then take a
long look at your house to
discover the trim and
decorative features that
make your house distinc-
tive. These features should
then be painted one of
more complimentary colors
to call attention to them.
The result will be a
pleasant experience and a
more authentic appearance.
The children of Zion
Lutheran Nursery School of
Marietta have been learn-
ing about nutrition and
good physical and dental
health. They have visited
the Donegal-Conoy Family
Health Center in Marietta.
Mrs. Marilyn Estell,
Health Center nurse,
weighed each of the
children, checked their
eyes, and showed them the
equipment and rooms used
by the doctors.
She also let the kids
listen to their own heart-
beats and checked the
blood pressure of several.
All of this helped reassure
the children that they have
nothing to fear from
doctors.
The kids then visited the
center’s dentist, Dr. Keith
Stewart. He explained his
equipment and gave each
boy and girl a ride in the
dentist’s chair.
Each child was given a
bag containing a plastic
glove, tongue depressor,
and medicine cup. Doctor
Stewart gave them tooth-
brushes.
Applications are still
being accepted for the
1979-80 school year. If you
are interested in enrolling
your child, call Mrs. Cheryl
Ronan at 684-5689 or Mrs.
Jennifer Douglas at
426-1482.
