The Dining-Room has a Plate Rack Extending around the Walls 
somewhat broken by a beamed archway, which is supported 
in an elegant manner by pilasters and columns of Doric char- 
acter. This room is finished with a white painted trim, which 
is in harmony with the wall decoration, and is finished with 
a wooden cornice. White painted bookcases are built in on 
one side of the room, which are furnished with doors, glazed 
with leaded glass. The large open fireplace is built of brick, 
with facings and hearth of tiled brick, and a mantel of Co- 
lonial style, with a cluster of columns placed at each corner 
of the fireplace and supporting a paneled facing. The foor 
is covered with an attractive rug of rich coloring, while the 
draperies at both the doors and windows are in pleasing 
contrast to the wall decorations. The room is lighted by 
very handsome electric fix- 
tures, and the candelabra 
on the mantel with electric 
attachments, are particu- 
larly elegant in their design. 
The dining-room also has 
a white enamel painted trim, 
and it has a plate rack, 
which extends around the 
room at the height of six 
feet from the floor. The 
wall space below the plate 
rack is covered with a wall 
covering of medallion de- 
sign, while the wall space 
above the plate rack is cov- 
ered with a Colonial paper 
representing a forest scene, 
the whole of which is fin- 
ished with a wooden cornice. 
The large open fireplace has 
brick facings and hearth, 
and a mantel with columns 
and paneled over-mantel. 
The butler’s pantry is 
trimmed with oak, and it is 
htted with all the best mod- 
ern fixtures, including sink, 
drawers, dressers, etc. A 
broad passageway, which is

placed between the butler’s 
pantry and kitchen, provides 
a place for the refrigerator, 
closets for stores, and also 
permits of a complete isola

ventilated, and contains all 
the best sanitary arrange- 
ments and modern conveni- 
ences, including sink, range, 
pantry, etc. The servants’ 
hall, which has now become 
the proper adjunct for the 
well regulated house, is well 
placed’ and is entered 
through the lobby and can 
be easily reached by the em- 
ployes on the estate without 
going into the kitchen, as is 
usually the case. 
The plan of the second floor is particularly interesting, 
for it is so arranged that all the rooms face the river front 
of the house. The various rooms are arranged in suites, so 
that each room has a connection to a bathroom; the owner’s 
suite consisting of one large bedroom, provided with a large 
dressing-room and a bathroom attached, the two guest rooms 
occupying the central portion of this floor, with a bathroom 
placed between them, and the family suite containing two 
bedrooms and bathroom, and occupying the other end of the 
house, represent the principal rooms of this floor. 
also on this floor a large sewing-room and a well fitted up 
linen closet, with an outside window, which permits of light 
and ventilation.
