AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



September, 1905 



The House oPAymar Embury 2d, Esq., Englewood, New Jersey 



A fireplace was desired in this room, so one was placed in the 

 corner, as is shown in the illustration, and as both the kitchen 

 and dining-room are closely related one chimney suffices for 

 both rooms. 



The kitchen, opening from the dining-room, is very com- 

 pact in form, and has a range placed on a slate hearth in the 

 corner of the kitchen and against a glazed brick chimney 

 breast, a large pantry, a dresser, a porcelain sink and wash 



front, and at the side a lobby containing two large well- 

 fitted closets forms an entrance to the bathroom, which is 

 wainscoted with tile and furnished with porcelain fixtures and 

 exposed nickelplated plumbing. This bathroom has another 

 entrance from the hall. This floor also contains two guest

 ample space for the ice-box, making it equally as cool a place 

 in summer as in winter. 



The second floor is planned with a view to utilizing every 

 possible bit of space. A study of the plan will reveal the 

 fact that for a house of this size a large amount of room has 

 been obtained on this floor. The owner has a large room, 

 with open fireplace provided with tiled facing, and hearth 

 and mantel. Connecting with this room is the nursery at the 



mented, is provided with the heating apparatus, fuel 

 rooms, etc. 



The house is, in all small appliances, as perfect as it has 

 been possible to make it, and great care has been given to 

 the hardware, registers, light fixtures, etc., in order to have 

 them match the color schemes, and were well thought out 

 before the woodwork was stained or the decorations were 

 undertaken. 



Mr. Aymar Embury 2d, architect, Englewood, N. J.
