The House of James Imbrie, Esq. 



Englewood, New Jersey 



H HE suburban home of James Imbrie, Esq., 

 at Englewood, N. J., is designed and built 

 in a quaint and interesting manner. It is 

 the simplicity of this design which makes it 

 attractive; simple in its form and simple in 

 its design, and without the usual superfluous 

 ornamentation which is so often attempted in the smaller 

 homes, is what makes it so attractive and pleasing. The 



four columns of the " Mount Vernon " type at the front, 

 which support the roof, lend dignity to its exterior. The stone 

 foundation, with rock faces, supports the superstructure, 

 which is covered with clapboards, and the whole of which is 

 painted white, forming a very pleasing contrast with its 

 wooded surroundings. The roof is covered with shingles. 

 The entrance is into a central hall, containing an interest- 

 ing staircase with ornamental newel, balusters and rail. At
