  The 
  Dining-room 
  Has 
  a 
  Flat 
  Groined 
  Ceiling 
  with 
  Paneled 
  Walls 
  in 
  Buff 
  with 
  White 
  Stripes 
  

   The 
  Floor 
  Is 
  Laid 
  with 
  Moravian 
  Tiles 
  

  

  The 
  Fireplace 
  of 
  the 
  Living-rooi 
  

   and 
  Lined 
  v 
  

  

  nearly 
  flat 
  that 
  one 
  hardly 
  realizes 
  that, 
  after 
  all, 
  the 
  center 
  

   is 
  slightly 
  recessed, 
  and 
  the 
  two 
  ends 
  as 
  slightly 
  projected. 
  

   The 
  change 
  of 
  the 
  surface, 
  in 
  fact, 
  is 
  not 
  more 
  than 
  sufficient 
  

   to 
  vary 
  the 
  modeling 
  and 
  give 
  texture 
  to 
  what 
  otherwise 
  

   might 
  be 
  a 
  rather 
  unduly 
  long 
  wall. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  two-storied 
  

   house, 
  with 
  a 
  low, 
  flat, 
  sloping 
  roof, 
  whose 
  eaves 
  constitute 
  

   its 
  crowning 
  feature. 
  On 
  the 
  left 
  the 
  wall 
  is 
  once 
  more 
  

   slightly 
  recessed, 
  and 
  rises 
  above 
  the 
  main 
  roof. 
  On 
  the 
  ex- 
  

  

  treme 
  end 
  a 
  lower 
  structure, 
  one 
  story 
  in 
  height 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  

   wall, 
  two 
  within 
  against 
  the 
  house, 
  is 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  main 
  

   building, 
  and 
  forms 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  service 
  wing. 
  The 
  grace- 
  

   ful 
  curves 
  of 
  its 
  side 
  walls 
  are 
  delightfully 
  drawn, 
  and 
  add 
  a 
  

   real 
  note 
  of 
  picturesqueness 
  to 
  the 
  whole 
  front. 
  

  

  The 
  entrance 
  porch 
  is 
  a 
  simple 
  little 
  portico 
  of 
  two 
  Doric 
  

   columns 
  supporting 
  an 
  entablature, 
  above 
  which 
  is 
  an 
  iron 
  

   railing 
  to 
  the 
  upper 
  balcony. 
  The 
  main 
  wall 
  is 
  cut 
  away 
  on 
  

  

  The 
  Stairs 
  Rise 
  at 
  One 
  End 
  of 
  the 
  Hall 
  and 
  Have 
  a 
  Wrought 
  Iron 
  Railing 
  

  

  of 
  Simple 
  Design 
  

  

  The 
  Loggia 
  on 
  the 
  Inner 
  Front 
  Has
