D. EDGAR GROUSE. 



A palace for horses seems to be growing into importance 

 with the millionaires of this country, the noble example of 

 which Syracuse has every reason to be justly proud of, as well 

 as her generous citizen, Mr. D. Edgar Grouse, the owner. 



As we approach the private entrance by granite stone 

 steps, upon which polished brass railings rest, we discover the 

 outside doors with the English crackle stained glass, repre- 

 senting features different from ' the old style of American 

 glass. When these doors are opened a vestibule in Roman 

 mosaic flooring with its variegated colors full of mellow-tints 

 in a design inviting much study. While standing on this, the 

 vestibule doors in opalescent stained-glass are seen, which are 

 pictures of beauty in mellow-coloring and purity of design. 



These are opened to a mosaic passageway, the right 

 leading to the priva'te office, and the left to the oflfice parlor, 

 two rooms possessing elegance in wood ceilings and side 

 walls, the latter containing tiles of l^yzantine glass mosuic 

 set in, which reflect great harmony with the character of the 

 room. This mosaic has never before been introduced in this 

 country, although made to order by the firm who furnished 

 the rooms. 



The wainscoting in both office and office parlor are of 

 Roman mosaic.
