  A 
  Glimpse 
  of 
  the 
  Living-room 
  Through 
  the 
  Hall 
  

  

  and 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  chambers 
  is 
  provided 
  with 
  ample 
  closet 
  

   space, 
  fitted 
  with 
  shelves, 
  hooks, 
  and 
  clothes 
  poles. 
  

  

  The 
  principal 
  rooms 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  story 
  have 
  floor 
  and 
  trim 
  

   of 
  red 
  oak 
  stained 
  a 
  soft 
  green, 
  finished 
  with 
  wax. 
  The 
  walls 
  

   are 
  covered 
  with 
  plain 
  ingrain 
  papers, 
  except 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  

   living-room, 
  which 
  has 
  a 
  frieze 
  of 
  Oriental 
  tapestry 
  paper. 
  

   The 
  fireplace 
  in 
  this 
  room 
  is 
  faced 
  with 
  unglazed 
  Mercer 
  

   tiles 
  having 
  great 
  variety 
  and 
  harmony 
  of 
  color. 
  

  

  The 
  second 
  story 
  rooms 
  have 
  floors 
  and 
  trim 
  of 
  stained 
  

  

  The 
  Hall 
  and 
  Den, 
  as 
  Seen 
  from 
  the 
  Living-room 
  

  

  Southern 
  pine, 
  finished 
  with 
  wax. 
  Heat 
  is 
  provided 
  by 
  a 
  

   superior 
  warm-air 
  furnace, 
  and 
  the 
  house 
  is 
  lighted 
  with 
  

   electricity. 
  

  

  The 
  house 
  is 
  thoroughly 
  well 
  built 
  and 
  finished 
  in 
  every 
  

   respect, 
  the 
  intention 
  being 
  not 
  to 
  build 
  as 
  cheaply 
  as 
  possible, 
  

   but 
  to 
  consider 
  real 
  economy 
  in 
  maintenance. 
  The 
  total 
  cost, 
  

   including 
  heating, 
  plumbing, 
  electric 
  wiring 
  and 
  fixtures, 
  

   kitchen 
  range, 
  and 
  window 
  and 
  door 
  screens, 
  was 
  nearly 
  six 
  

   thousand 
  dollars. 
  

  

  The 
  Dutch 
  Colonial 
  Is 
  the 
  Prototype 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Phelp's 
  Home, 
  Which 
  Is 
  Built 
  on 
  a 
  Hill 
  Overlooking 
  the 
  Cayuga 
  Lake 
  and 
  Surrounding 
  Country
