February 1930 Your Home magazine cover features a color image of the home of Walter E. and Alice M. Knowles of 11 Cape Court in MIllburn. Interior photos of the home appear in the article on pages 34-35. A 2009 tour of the house shows that it has not changed much at all since 1930. Research on the Knowles family indicates that Walter E. Knowles was an advertising salesman for magazine publishers. He was married to Alice M. Knowles and in 1930 they had a son named Walter E. Knowles, III. Walter was born in NJ in 1904. His mother, Augusta, was born in Wales ca. 1867 and his father, Walter E., was born in NJ ca. 1856. Walter (the second) had a sister, Janet, and a brother, Boyd.
The softcover magazine has 72 pages , wear on all page edges, much wear to the spine, and rust on the staples inside, binding the pages together. Overall soil on front and back covers and ca. seven nicks in the front cover, in a line above the chimney of the house.
Pages 16-18 feature an article by architect Bernhardt E. Muller, who built homes locally and some of the sketches may be of his local homes. The intro notes that this article is "his final article of this series" and it is titled Viewing the House as a Whole.
Page 31 features an article by architect Kenneth W. Dalzell and an unidentified Southern Colonial "residence in New Jersey."Acquisition
