the fact that the

since the view from 
this point is wholly 
distinct from that 
from the broad 
lawn on the terrace side of the house. Seen from the latter 
point of vantage, the front is a dignified combination of a 
variety of features which have been very successfully welded 
into one design. The great half-timber extension, somewhat 
to one side of the mass, is the most striking feature. Just 
below it is a low gable over a large round arched window, a 
new addition in stone which connects the central part of the
