AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



September, 19 lo 



1 he house and the formal garden 



rug covers the center of this floor, making a pleasant devia- 

 tion from the bare hard-wood floor now so universal. The 

 walls are hung with heavy paper of a forest pattern, which 

 is very effective. A specially noticeable feature, and also a 

 desirable one, is the built-in closets with leaded doors, 

 which contain the glass and the china. The furniture is 

 strong, Colonial in type, and upholstered in leather. 



The stable connected with this estate is situated on the 

 opposite side of the road from the house. A handsome 



Colonial building it is, with its gambrel roof, and entrances 

 which show considerable ornamental work in their design. 

 Tall pillars flank the broad doorway. The interior includes 

 a billiard-room capable of accommodating several tables. 

 This place is finished in dark cypress, and is utterly modern 

 and convenient in every detail. Like the house, it was 

 planned by Mr. James S. Kelly, of Boston, Mr. Bond's 

 architect, to whose exceptional ability is due the perfect 

 equipment for comfort in each of the buildings. 



The beauty of the formal garden is the mass of tangled flowers
