finish, and “the 
cheerful impression 
this harmonious 
combination creates

numerous windows 
that light the room 
on three sides. A 
large brick fireplace 
graces the central portion of the outer wall at one side, and 
to the left broad glass doors open on to the living-porch.

ample closet space and two bathrooms. On the third floor, 
there are two servants’ rooms, bathroom and storage space.
