  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 
  

  

  each 
  side, 
  and 
  has 
  square 
  piers 
  and 
  pilasters 
  inserted, 
  with 
  a 
  

   very 
  slightly 
  detailed 
  entablature. 
  The 
  wall 
  is 
  again 
  re- 
  

   cessed 
  for 
  the 
  single 
  window 
  contained 
  in 
  each 
  of 
  these 
  

   spaces. 
  While 
  the 
  window 
  treatment 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  is 
  ap- 
  

   parently 
  regular, 
  it 
  contains 
  some 
  interesting 
  evidences 
  of 
  

   irregularity. 
  All 
  the 
  windows 
  have 
  plain, 
  narrow 
  frames. 
  

   The 
  two 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  of 
  the 
  entrance 
  arc 
  regularly 
  disposed 
  

   in 
  both 
  stories. 
  In 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  story 
  are 
  three

   Linen 
  with 
  Floral 
  Borders 
  

  

  windows; 
  the 
  middle 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  others 
  and 
  opening 
  

   onto 
  the 
  balcony 
  before 
  it; 
  the 
  other 
  two, 
  one 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  

   being 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  other 
  windows 
  of 
  this 
  story, 
  but 
  having 
  

   solid 
  mullions 
  dividing 
  each 
  into 
  two. 
  On 
  the 
  left 
  are 
  two 
  

   large 
  windows, 
  spaced 
  without 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  other 
  win- 
  

   dows 
  of 
  the 
  front, 
  and 
  each 
  with 
  its 
  own 
  wrought 
  iron 
  

   balcony. 
  One 
  presently 
  discovers, 
  on 
  entering 
  the 
  house, 
  

   that 
  these 
  light 
  the 
  stairs 
  to 
  the 
  second 
  floor.
