rough cherry red brick laid with gray joints, and is sur- 

 mounted with a great dull copper hood. A leathern apron 

 depends from beneath the mantel shelf. The draperies 

 are figured madras in shades of blue, and the furniture is, 

 for the most part, of willow, stained gray-green and with 

 covers of figured cretonnes. 



The dining-room is the chief apartment on the left of 

 the hall. Once more this is a room of large size. The ceil-

 with a panel scheme of uprights and horizontals, the latter 

 being arranged to form a frieze at the top. The wall 

 covering is dull blue figured burlap, with draperies of the 

 same material. Immediately in face, as the room is entered 



from the main hall, is the fireplace. It occupies a recess, 

 lined throughout with cherry red brick, with a hearth of 

 quarry tile that covers the entire recess. The fire opening 

 is arched, and is provided with a copper hood. The wood- 

 work is red birch stained dark mahogany. The furniture 

 is mahogany. 



On the left of the main hall is a smaller one that serves 

 as a connecting corridor with the rest of the house. Here

 dining-room with the kitchen, which, in its turn, is 

 associated with a larder and a store room. In the de-
