cupboards. The servants’ porch is a large 
one, and is inclosed with glass in winter. 
Passing from the kitchen through the but- 
ler’s pantry the servants’ stairway and hall 
is reached, which contains the open stair- 
way, rising from the first to the third floor, 
and underneath which the stairs to the cel- 
lar descend. ‘The main hall and front door 
is reached from this servants’ hall. 
The arrangement of the second floor 
plan is most excellent, presenting a series 
of rooms which are well lighted and 
ventilated. 
The entire floor is trimmed with white 
wood, which is treated with white paint. 
This floor contains the owner’s suite, which 
consists of two large bedrooms, with a bath- 
room placed between the two rooms. Each 
bedroom is fitted with large closets, and 
there is a passageway, provided with ward- 
rear, while at the front it is within three 
steps of being on the level of the first floor. 
These conveniences, while seemingly of 
secondary importance, are, as a matter of 
fact, of the utmost value to the house, and 
quite frequently determine its utility and 
availability as a place of residence. Mr. 
White’s cellar is perhaps no more remark- 
able than any other well made, well built, 
fully equipped cellar; but its equipment is so 
complete, every part has been so well utilized 
and the space is so admirably made use of, 
that some special reference may be made to 
it. Hence it contains a cold storage cellar, 
a fuel-room, a fine set of heating apparatus, 
and other fixtures such as are needed in the 
mechanical maintenance of a house. 
Thus, both on the material and the ar- 
tistic side, as a pleasant place to live in, a 
pleasant house to see, and superbly situated, 
withal, this house enjoys advantages of a 
special sort that give it an individual in- 
terest.

robes, extending the entire length of the 
passage, and from the floor to the ceiling. 
There is also three extra guest-rooms on 
this floor, one of which has a private bath- 
room. ‘The bathrooms have floors paved 
with tiles, walls wainscoted with white 
enameled tiles, and each contains porcelain — oS 
fixtures and exposed nickelplated plumbing. y 
The bathrooms are large, well ventilated 
and lighted, and can be reached from the 
hall as well as from the rooms with which 
they are connected. There is also a large, 
well fitted linen closet, with window for 
light and air, which is a very proper fea- 
ture for the care of the household linen. 
The third floor contains the servant quar- 
ters and a large trunk-room, besides ample 
storage space. 
The basement is a fine one, and as the 
house is partly built on the side of a hill, 
it affords the possibility of the cellar bottom ae ae Se SE wai
