a similar manner. ‘The owner’s suite, con- 
sisting of a sitting-room, bedroom, dress- 
ing-room and bathroom, is quite the feature 
of this floor, which is excellently planned. 
There are also three guest-rooms and bath, 
and a sewing-room on this floor. A private 
hall and stairway leads to the third floor, 
which contains the servants’ rooms and 
bath and a large trunk-room. 
The large cellar, cemented, contains a 
vegetable cellar, store closet, milk-room, 
heating apparatus and fuel-rooms. Water 
is supplied on every floor at a pressure of 
45 pounds to the square inch. A 2-inch 
standpipe with hose reels, accommodating 
fifty feet of hose, furnish ample fire protec- 
tion for each floor. This pressure is main- 
tained by the “‘Acme’’ pneumatic system, 
the water plant being in an adjacent 
ze ‘cyclone’ cellar. An electric motor of

the music-room on the opposite side of 
the shore front, is trimmed with Cali- 
fornia redwood, the exposed surface of 
which is jack-planed. The walls are 
paneled from the floor to the ceiling, 
and the whole is finished with a massive 
wooden cornice, while the ceiling is cov- 
ered with gilded burlap. The open fire- 
place is fitted with serpentine marble fac- 
ings and hearth, and a mantel hand- 
somely carved. ‘The butler’s pantry, of 
large dimensions, is fitted with drawers, 
cupboard and dressers complete. The 
kitchen and its dependencies, together 
with the laundry, are fitted with all the 
best modern conveniences usually found 
in a well equipped house. 
The broad oak stairs, which wind 
themselves around the chimney, form the 
means by which the second floor is 
reached. ‘The long corridor on the sec- 
ond story, on which the main rooms are 
placed, is trimmed in the Colonial style, 
with white enamel finish and glass knobs. 
The remainder of this floor is treated in 
water from the well and pump it into an 
iron tank 20 feet long. A companion tank 
receives the air forced through it by the air 
compressor. An automatic pressure regu- 
lator allows the air to flow from the air tank 
to the water tank, thereby forcing the water 
to a height of 40 feet. The tanks are placed
