The dining-room 



r" 



The living-room 

 is an apartment of 

 splendid size, and 

 occupying a corner 

 of the house on the 

 water side, is most 

 agreeably situated. 

 Two massive beams 

 divide the ceiling 

 into three great 

 panels. 71ie walls 

 are covered with 

 old gray-blue bur- 

 lap, and the wood- 

 work is birch 

 stained gray. Ex- 

 posed vertical up- 

 rights divide the 

 wall surfaces into 

 panels which are 

 surmounted by a 

 figured frieze be- 

 tween exposed bor- 

 ders of wood. The 

 frieze represents a 

 "Due de Guise" 

 hunting scene in 

 wood browns, ma- 

 hogany and dull 

 blues. An immense 

 fireplace fills the 

 space between two 

 windows on one 

 side of the room. 

 It is faced with 



and mahogany figured 

 madras. The stairs 

 to the second story 

 are immediately to the 

 right as the hall is 

 entered. 



On the right are 

 two rooms, the first 

 directly adjoining the 

 entrance being the 

 library, while the sec- 

 ond, and larger 

 room, overlooking the 

 water, is the living- 

 room. The ceiling 

 has exposed beams, 

 with plain undeco- 

 rated paiiels. The 

 woodwork is cypress, 

 stained dark green. 

 The walls are hung 

 with gray-green grass- 

 cloth. The furniture 

 is in the Mission style, 

 and the draperies are 

 green figured madras 

 and green velour por- 

 tieres. The fireplace, 

 which is a conspicuous 

 feature of one side of 

 the room, is faced 

 with green Grueby 

 tile, with a Jungle tile 

 frieze of dull greens, 

 yellows and blues.
