  The 
  house 
  shown 
  in 
  Figs. 
  5 
  and 
  6 
  is 
  quite 
  distinct 
  from 
  the 
  

   one 
  shown 
  in 
  Figs. 
  3 
  and 
  4. 
  Mr. 
  Boyd, 
  in 
  designing 
  this 
  

   house, 
  accepted 
  the 
  gambrel 
  roof 
  as 
  his 
  leading 
  motif. 
  The 
  

   piazza 
  across 
  the 
  front 
  has 
  Doric 
  fluted 
  columns 
  supporting 
  

   the 
  roof. 
  This 
  treatment, 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  stone 
  and 
  brick 
  

   chimney, 
  form 
  the 
  chief 
  architectural 
  features 
  of 
  the 
  exterior. 
  

  

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

   building, 
  above, 
  is 
  covered 
  on 
  the 
  exterior 
  with 
  white 
  pine 
  

   shingles, 
  stained 
  a 
  silver 
  gray, 
  while 
  the 
  blinds 
  and 
  trim- 
  

   mings 
  are 
  painted 
  white, 
  and 
  the 
  roof 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  

   shingles 
  and 
  stained 
  tobacco 
  brown. 
  

  

  The 
  entrance 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  side, 
  thereby 
  giving 
  a 
  certain 
  

   amount 
  of 
  privacy 
  to 
  the 
  front 
  piazza. 
  The 
  reception-hall 
  

  

  and 
  the 
  living-room 
  are 
  irregular 
  in 
  form; 
  they 
  are 
  both 
  

   trimmed 
  with 
  chestnut 
  and 
  finished 
  in 
  a 
  Flemish 
  brown. 
  The 
  

   hall 
  has 
  a 
  bay-window 
  and 
  an 
  ornamental 
  staircase, 
  which 
  is 
  

   in 
  combination 
  with 
  the 
  kitchen 
  stairs, 
  and 
  the 
  space 
  usually 
  

   allotted 
  for 
  a 
  staircase 
  is 
  utilized 
  for 
  other 
  purposes. 
  The 
  

   living-room 
  is 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  hall 
  by 
  a 
  grille 
  and 
  arch. 
  

   It 
  has 
  an 
  attractive 
  corner 
  fitted 
  with 
  an 
  open 
  fireplace 
  built 
  

   of 
  bricks, 
  with 
  the 
  facings 
  and 
  hearth 
  of 
  similar 
  brick 
  and 
  a 
  

   mantel 
  of 
  good 
  design. 
  From 
  the 
  fireplace 
  a 
  paneled 
  seat 
  

   extends 
  along 
  the 
  wall 
  and 
  returns 
  to 
  the 
  bay-window 
  on 
  

   the 
  front. 
  The 
  dining-room 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  rear 
  of 
  the 
  hall 
  and 
  

   is 
  painted 
  old 
  ivory 
  white. 
  The 
  pantry 
  and 
  kitchen 
  are. 
  

   trimmed 
  with 
  chestnut 
  and 
  are 
  finished 
  natural. 
  Each 
  is 
  

   fitted 
  with 
  all 
  the 
  best 
  modern 
  conveniences 
  complete.
