AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



I r 



lowish brown tone. 

 The butler's pantry is 

 fitted with a sink, 

 dresser and drawers. 

 The kitchen has a 

 range, dresser, sink, 

 closet, a lobby large 

 enough to admit an 

 icebox, and a servants' 

 porch. The den is 

 reached from the din- 

 ing-room, and has a 

 door leading to the 

 the service court. 



The second floor of 

 the house contains the 

 owner's suite, guest 

 rooms and bathroom. 

 The owner's room as 

 well as the other 

 rooms are carried out 

 in one particular color 

 scheme in the tones of 

 soft brown and green. 



The bathrooms 

 have tiled floors and 

 wainscotings, with 

 the walls above the 

 wainscotings treated 

 with white enamel 

 paint. These bath- 

 rooms are furnished 

 with porcelain fixtures 

 and exposed nickle- 



An attractive feature of the treatment of the service end to a house 



plated plumbing. 



There are two serv- 

 ants' bedrooms, and 

 bathroom, and a 

 trunk-room on the 

 third floor. 



The cellar is pro- 

 vided with a laundry, 

 hot-water heating ap- 

 paratus and fuel- 

 rooms complete. 



The service end of 

 a house is not, as a 

 rule, very attractive, 

 but in the designing of 

 the service end of this 

 house particular atten- 

 tion has been given to 

 its detail. 



The lobby is provided 

 with a large closet fitted 

 with a window and 

 used for a cooling and 

 storage room. A door 

 opposite the one in the 

 lobby opens into the 

 den from the servants' 

 porch, and provides a 

 way by which the owner 

 of the house may reach 

 the rear of the building. 

 The balcony over is 

 reached from one of the 

 bedrooms.
