  placed 
  a 
  console 
  mirror 
  extending 
  from 
  the 
  floor 
  to

  This

  is 
  also

  oak, 
  and 
  is 
  finished 
  

   in

  The 
  dining-room,

  with 
  a 
  

   similar

   fireplace 
  with 
  a 
  brick 
  hearth 
  and 
  facings 
  and 
  an 
  oak

   A 
  door

  the 
  pantry, 
  provided 
  

   with 
  drawers

  The 
  House 
  of 
  M. 
  T. 
  Bull, 
  Esq. 
  

  

  The 
  first 
  consideration 
  in 
  building 
  a 
  suburban 
  house 
  for 
  

   Mr. 
  Bull 
  was 
  to 
  look 
  over 
  the 
  site 
  and 
  arrive 
  at 
  a 
  definite 
  

   conclusion 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  style 
  and 
  form 
  to 
  use, 
  and 
  this 
  is 
  what 
  

   Mr. 
  Schubert 
  did 
  when 
  he 
  designed 
  this 
  house. 
  The 
  house 
  

  

  is 
  pleasing 
  to 
  the 
  eye 
  and 
  is 
  in 
  good 
  taste. 
  The 
  form 
  is 
  on 
  

   the 
  square, 
  thereby 
  giving 
  good 
  square 
  rooms 
  in 
  the 
  interior 
  

   and 
  an 
  exterior 
  that 
  is 
  dignified 
  and 
  not 
  over 
  ornate 
  in 
  its 
  

   treatment. 
  

  

  The 
  underpinning 
  is 
  built 
  of 
  rock-faced 
  stone, 
  and 
  the 
  ex- 
  

   terior 
  framework 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  matched 
  sheathing, 
  good 
  

   building 
  paper 
  and 
  shingles 
  which 
  are 
  stained 
  a 
  soft 
  brown, 
  

   while 
  the 
  trimmings 
  are 
  painted 
  white. 
  The 
  roof 
  is 
  covered 
  

   with 
  shingles 
  and 
  stained 
  a 
  moss 
  green. 
  

  

  A 
  vestibule 
  forms 
  the 
  entrance 
  to 
  the 
  house, 
  which 
  is 
  

   trimmed 
  with 
  oak. 
  From 
  the 
  vestibule 
  one 
  enters 
  the 
  hall, 
  

   which 
  occupies 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  house. 
  It 
  

   is 
  trimmed 
  with 
  oak 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  paneled 
  wainscoting 
  seven 
  

   feet 
  in 
  height, 
  and 
  ceiling 
  beams, 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  fin- 
  

   ished 
  in 
  Flemish 
  brown. 
  The 
  fireplace 
  is 
  built 
  of 
  brick, 
  with 
  

   brick 
  facings, 
  hearth 
  and 
  mantel. 
  The 
  staircase 
  is 
  recessed 
  

   from 
  this 
  hall, 
  and 
  is 
  separated 
  by 
  an 
  archway 
  and 
  screen, 
  

   and 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  its 
  semi-isolation 
  it 
  seemed 
  advisable 
  when 
  

   planning 
  this 
  house 
  to 
  dispense 
  with 
  the 
  servants' 
  staircase 
  

   and 
  use 
  this 
  in 
  combination 
  with 
  an 
  access 
  to 
  it 
  from 
  the 
  

   kitchen 
  through 
  the 
  butler's 
  pantry. 
  The 
  parlor, 
  separated 
  

   from 
  the 
  hall 
  by 
  an 
  archway, 
  supported 
  on 
  columns, 
  is 
  

   trimmed 
  with 
  oak 
  finished 
  in 
  a 
  golden 
  oak. 
  Opposite 
  the 
  

   entrance 
  is 
  a 
  console 
  mirror 
  rising 
  from 
  the 
  floor 
  to 
  the 
  

   ceiling. 
  A 
  Colonial 
  base 
  two 
  feet 
  in 
  height 
  extends 
  around 
  

   the 
  walls 
  of 
  this 
  room. 
  The 
  house 
  cost 
  $4250.
