  A 
  Pair 
  of 
  Doric 
  Columns 
  Marks 
  the 
  Entrance 
  to 
  the 
  Grounds 
  

  

  beyond 
  stretches 
  away 
  in 
  ample 
  lawns 
  to 
  the 
  house, 
  which, 
  

   while 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  situated 
  at 
  the 
  furthest 
  extremity 
  of 
  the 
  

   property, 
  is 
  located 
  at 
  a 
  considerable 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  outer 
  

   highway. 
  

  

  A 
  splendid 
  curve 
  brings 
  the 
  carriage 
  directly 
  before 
  the 
  en- 
  

   trance 
  portico. 
  The 
  house 
  is 
  H-shaped, 
  with 
  a 
  central 
  body 
  

   and 
  wings 
  at 
  either 
  end, 
  projected 
  on 
  the 
  entrance 
  front. 
  

   Across 
  the 
  middle 
  is 
  a 
  covered 
  porch, 
  with 
  a 
  projected 
  center, 
  

   and 
  which 
  at 
  each 
  end 
  is 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  terraces 
  that 
  are 
  

   carried 
  all 
  around 
  the 
  house. 
  These 
  terraces, 
  on 
  the 
  entrance 
  

  

  front, 
  have 
  their 
  own 
  separate 
  steps. 
  At 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  one 
  are 
  

   carved 
  sphynxes 
  of 
  marble; 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  are 
  up- 
  

   right 
  lions 
  supporting 
  shields. 
  The 
  house 
  is 
  two 
  stories 
  in 
  

   height, 
  with 
  an 
  attic 
  so 
  boldly 
  developed 
  as 
  to 
  have 
  the 
  real 
  

   architectural 
  character 
  of 
  a 
  third 
  story. 
  Directly 
  in 
  the 
  

   center 
  is 
  a 
  roof 
  garden, 
  surmounted 
  with 
  a 
  pergola, 
  supported 
  

   on 
  the 
  front 
  by 
  elaborately 
  carved 
  gaines. 
  The 
  windows 
  are 
  

   everywhere 
  rectangular 
  in 
  design, 
  with 
  simple 
  frames; 
  those 
  

   on 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  are 
  doubled; 
  those 
  elsewhere 
  are 
  

   single. 
  At 
  each 
  end 
  of 
  each 
  wing, 
  on 
  the 
  entrance 
  front, 
  is
