AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



July, 1 9 13 



as well as exterior. There 

 is a library and a billiard- 

 room and a great hall for 

 entertainments and accomo- 

 dations for members 'and 

 their friends who may w' h 

 to stay here untroubled by 

 housekeeping cares. 



The cottages for the most 

 part are moderate in cost, 

 each adapted to the posi- 

 tion of the land it occupies, 

 and in almost every instance 

 the ideal of simplicity is em- 

 phasized by the great living- 

 room which one enters from 

 the front door without the 

 formality of a hall. From 

 each of the thirty odd 

 houses, the outlook varies to 

 such an extent, it is hard to 

 believe as many different 

 vistas could present them- 

 selves in so limited an acre- 

 age. One of the houses 

 noticed as being specially 

 appropriate to the place was 

 that of Mr. Dudley Hall, a 

 very delightful cottage type; 

 vines covering the gray 

 shingles and here and there 

 a quaint little bay window

Entrance doorway of Mr. E. Spencer Hall's house 



and balcony jutting out. 

 This cottage was built fifteen 

 years ago and cost about 

 $8,000. Another house 

 built at the same time is that 

 of Mr. Cornelius Poillon, 

 suggestive of Italy in the 

 squareness of its towers, its 

 vine-covered pergola en- 

 trance way, the stucco col- 

 umns of the piazza and ter- 

 raced garden with pointed 

 cedars on either side of the 

 stone steps. The cost of 

 this house was inside of 

 $5,000. A very satisfying 

 house because so restful in 

 atmosphere is that of Dr. 

 Samuel A. Brown, designed 

 by Lyman A. Ford, architect, 

 New York. The house with 

 its garden was inspired by a 

 visit to an old Spanish con- 

 vent in Santa Barbara. Built 

 of gray stucco, situated on a 

 broad shaded terrace the 

 wide hall opens through the 

 center so that one can look 

 out of one door across 

 Sandy Hook to the ocean 

 and through the other to a 

 great garden of flowers
