The living-room has bookcases built in 
on either side of the ingle-nook, which con- 
tains a fireplace of dressed Indiana lime- 
stone with a paneled mantel resting on col- 
umns which rise into brackets. On eith 
side of the fierplace the wall space is pierced 
by windows, underneath which are paneled 
seats extending around the ingle-nook. At 
the south side of the room a bay window 
has been thrown out in which there is also 
a paneled seat. 
The dining-room is separated from the 
entrance hall by sliding doors, which are 
opposite the archway and separates the 
living-room from the hall. The original 
plan of this side of the house was in the 
form of two rooms, and in its transforma- 
tion it was made into one great long room. 
The Living-Room Has an Ingle-Nook with Open Fireplace and Mantel of Caen Stone

The form of the hall and the position of 
the staircase were retained in the trans- 
formation, except that the two parlors were 
turned into one large living-room. ‘The 
partition at the right side of the hall was 
cut away, forming a broad archway. At 
either side of this archway are pilasters 
carved in the form of a grape-vine, which 
rise to the intersection of the arch, into a 
beautiful piece of carving composed of the 
leaves and the fruit of the grape. Opposite 
this opening is a similar archway which 
separates the ingle-nook from the living- 
room. The hall and living-room are treated 
similar in character, and the walls are 
covered with Japanese wall grass, while 
the woodwork is of oak, treated with a 
dark stain, almost black, and is quite in 
harmony with the color scheme. The walls 
have pilasters placed at intervals along its 
sides, which rise into the spring of the arch 
of which the cornice is formed. 
The staircase has an inclosed balustrade 
of panels formed by the dark stained oak 
ribs breaking into the rail which butts into 
the newel post placed at the bottom of the The White Enamel Furniture and Trim, and the Crimson Upholstery and Wall 
stairs. ‘he panels formed by these ribs Decorations Form the Color Scheme of the Dining-Room 
In order to get over this difficulty, a wing 
was thrown out at one side of the room, 
making the greatest length of the room in 
the opposite direction; by this arrangement 
it left two spaces on either side, one of 
which was arched, turning it into an alcove 
for a breakfast-room, while the correspond- 
ing space was utilized for a butler’s pantry. 
This room is treated with white enamel 
trim. The walls have a paneled wainscot- 
ing to the height of six feet and is finished 
with a plate rack. The wall space above 
is covered with Japanese grass tinted a deep 
red. The furniture is in white enamel, and 
the upholstery and hangings are of crimson 
velour. The fireplace has a hearth of Mo- 
ravian tile and a mantel of white marble 
The nook has a paneled seat extending 
around its walls. French windows open
