AMERICAN ESTATES AND GARDENS 



upper walls being sand finished and stippled a dull gold on an tmderlying brownish tone. In 

 the apex of the dome is placed an electric disk light. On either side of the front door is a low 

 closet, with fret-sawn panels in the doors and top: one serves as a screen for the radiator, and 

 the other as a coat closet. Above these closets are high windows, glazed with opalescent 

 rondels . 



The reception-room is back of the hall, and separated from the stairs by an ornamental 

 screen, into which Moorish tiles are inserted. A half-timber effect is introduced on the stairs 

 and in the reception-room by filling the lower panels with tapestry. The ceiling is in dull 

 gold. 



The dining-room is to the right of the hall, and like the reception-room and hall is 

 trimmed with quartered white oak, stained a dark brown. Above a low base are panels in 

 oak, filled in with burlap studded with nails. The walls above are covered with burlap, deco- 

 rated with a grape design. The panels of the ceiling are light brown. Beyond is the kitchen, 

 partly occupying a wing beyond the main building. The living-room is on the opposite side 

 of the hall. The woodwork is stained a dark green. There is a heavy beam ceiling, and the 

 walls are covered with burlap of a gray-green tone. The plaster panels of the ceiling are also 

 tinted green. The facing of the fireplace is green and blue glass mosaic, with touches of purple; 

 above it is a picture built in, and specially painted to harmonize with the colors of the mantel.
