The Country Seat of Howard Henry, Esq. 



at Camp Hill, Pa. 



By Francis Durando Nichols 



HERE are few more delightful sites than 

 those which are to be found among the 

 hills of Pennsylvania, and the temptation 

 is to state that the site upon which Mr. 

 Henry has chosen to build his house may 

 not be the most important one among 

 them, but he has, at least, obtained one of 

 the choicest situations to develop a country-seat — a country- 

 seat in every sense of the word, with an air of refinement 



and repose, simplicity being the keynote to the whole general 

 scheme. 



A roadway leads in from the main highway through an 

 imposing gateway to a court in front of the house. This 

 roadway passes around a circle to the entrance porch, and 

 then continues to the service end of the building, which 

 also has a direct entrance from the highway. The court 

 is enclosed on three sides by a high privet hedge which 

 separates it from the orchard at the east front and from 



The garden front
