Its wall space around the fireplace is wain- 
scoted with white glazed tile, while the 
floor is laid with quarry tile. This kitchen, 
its pantry and laundry, are fitted with all 
the best modern and sanitary improve- 
ments. At the back of the kitchen is a 
porch so built that it can be easily inclosed 
in winter for use as a cooling room. The 
rear stairway is in combination with the 
front stairs, and a flight of stairs from the 
kitchen descends to the cellar. 
Four good-sized bed-rooms, lighted and 
ventilated on two sides, seem a liberal al- 
lowance for a house of this size. ‘These 
rooms are treated with a white enamel 
painted trim, while the walls of each are 
covered with a quaint Colonial wall paper. 
The bathroom is tiled and has porcelain 
fixtures and exposed nickelplated plumb- 
ing. [here are three bedrooms, bath and 
trunk room on the third floor. A steam-heating apparatus 
and fuel rooms are placed in the cellar, which extends under 
the entire house. The house cost $6,600 complete. Mr. 
Walter F. Price was the architect, as well as of the house

is covered with shingles and stained a brilliant red. The 
plan shows the best example of what can be done in the plan- 
ning of a house for a suburban site. It has a large reception 
hall, trimmed with oak. Its walls are wain- 
scoted, above which they are covered with 
russet leather. The fireplace has tile trim- 
mings and a Gothic mantel. ‘The staircase 
is also of Gothic style, and sweeps up into 
a broad landing, which is placed in a bay 
window thrown out at this level. From 
this landing a short flight leads down to the 
kitchen, making the staircase a combina- 
tion one. 
The parlor is trimmed with oak, and its 
walls are covered with a deep red in har- 
mony with the trim. The dining-room is 
also trimmed with oak, and its walls are 
covered with tapestry. The butler’s pantry 
is fitted with drawers, dressers and cup- 
boards complete. The kitchen has a range 
set against white enameled brick, a dresser, 
sink, laundry and store pantry, each of 
which is fitted with the best modern fix- 
tures. ‘The floor is laid with quarry tile. 
The second story contains the sleeping- 
rooms, consisting of four good sized bed- 
rooms, arranged so that each has windows
