“The Chalet” (Figure 6) is a house built for Charles F. 
CANOPY . 
Stout, Esq., which is one of the most interesting houses built 
on the estate of the Richmond County Club, at Don- 
gan Hills, Staten Island. It is designed and built in the 
Swiss Chalet style, from which it gets its name. The house 
has an under-pinning of red brick laid in red mortar, while 
the superstructure is covered on the exterior framework with 
shingles, stained a dark brown. The trimmings are painted 
a darker shade and the sash are white. The roof is covered 
with shingles stained a deep reddish brown. ‘The chimneys 
are built of brick, are low and squatty, and are in keeping 
with this particular style. 
The interior arrangement of the rooms is a good one. The 
entrance is from the porte-cochere to a small central hall, con- 
taining an ornamental stair-case. To the right is the recep- 
tion-room, properly placed, and to the left is the rear stairway 
and kitchen, which takes up the remainder of the outline of 
CHAMBER 2 
the front of the house, leaving the rear side of the house for 
the living-rooms. The interior of the first floor is designed 
for mission furniture. The trim is of whitewood, stained a 
soft brown, while the walls are treated with greens and terra- 
cotta. The fireplaces in the living and dining-rooms are 
bold and simple, and are built of speckled Roman brick, with 
the facings and hearths of the same, and furnished with 
large, plain mantels.
