is a broad landing with a generous seat, above which 
is placed a cluster of eight casement windows which are 
glazed with leaded glass of simple design, and shedding a 
soft and pleasant light over both the upper and lower walls. 
The walls and floor covering throughout the halls are of a 
rich dark red. 
The living-room walls are hung with a two tone figured 
green silk and it harmonizes well with the large India rug 
which covers the floor. The large open fireplace with its 
marble facings and mantel, handsomely carved and in the 
Colonial style, forms the feature of the east side of the room. 
There is placed in front of the windows at the northeast side 
of the room a broad paneled seat. 
The dining-room has a paneled wainscoting, above which 
the walls are covered with an old blue striped material, 
. oll 
finished with a wooden cornice. A Berlin rug on the floor, 
of handsome design, harmonizes well with the wall covering. 
The fireplace has marble facings and a mantel of unusual 
beauty, with its carved panels of exquisite workmanship. The 
old Colonial mirror which is placed over the mantelshelf, car- 
ries out the effect of the old Colonial room, and is quite in 
keeping with the mahogany furniture of the old Colonial 
pattern, with which the room is furnished. 
The billiard-room is trimmed with oak and is stained 
dark Flemish brown. <A high wainscoting, which is finished 
with a plate rack, extends around the four walls of the room, 
the panels of which are filled in with a dull red buckram, 
which is stenciled in a conventional design. Above the wains- 
coting there is a decorated frieze on a painted canvas; the 
whole general scheme of the room presents the effect of an

The Plans Are so Arranged that Each Room is Well Lighted and Ventilated
