Dining-room, showing the French windows 
the sparkle of glass and gleaming of old silver. Accessory to 
this room is another porch, which is used as an out-of-door 
dining-room, and which, like every part of this attractive 
house, has a delightful outlook, toward mountainous scenery. 
The kitchen-wing and sery- 
ice portion of the house are 
thoroughly shut off on both 
floors from the remainder of 
the house, and are unusually 
well arranged and complete 
in appointments. A pantry 
of ample proportions is 
placed between the dining- 
room and the kitchen, and 
the kitchen is provided with 
every possible device for the 
comfort and convenience of 
those who must work therein. 
The kitchen is so arranged 
that it has an attractive out- 
look in two directions. The 
kitchen-wing is completed by 
still another enclosed porch. 
The upper floor has been 
so planned that it provides 
four large family bed- 
chambers, three of which open directly into bathrooms, every 
room having ample closet space. The windows are arranged 
to provide cross ventilation. The wing which contains the 
servants’ bedrooms is arranged with a corridor down the

The dining-room, looking toward the hall 
middle, which gives each room windows and ventilation of 
its own. This wing contains the servants’ bathroom, a linen 
closet and a large storeroom, each having a window. This 
story is connected with the service quarters below by its own 
stairway, so the servants’- 
wing may be entirely apart 
from the rest of the house. 
The third floor contains two 
large guestrooms and a bath- 
room, which connects the 
two. 
This entire house, with its 
beautiful surroundings and 
the dignity of its design with- 
in and without, is a home 
which will grow more beauti- 
ful with the passing years. 
One can scarcely expect to 
produce in the few months 
since its completion the effect 
which nature will provide in 
but a few seasons more, and 
it is pleasant to imagine what 
a new home may be like 
when its walls come to be 
covered with ivy turning 
from its summer green to the browns and golden reds of 
autumn and winter—when the trees will be so fully grown 
that their branches will meet overhead, and when hedges 
and shrubbery will have attained full and complete growth.
