Further on, but immediately ad- 
joining the — living-hall, 
breakfast-room. It is nearly square 
in plan, and is lighted by 
windows that open on to the ter- 
race, which extends com- 
pletely across the garden 
front of the house. The 
woodwork is painted green 
and white, and the walls 
are covered with green grass-cloth. 
On the furthest side is a doorway 
that leads to the dining-room, which 
occupies the further corner of the 
house, and is a spacious rectangular 
apartment designed in the Colonial 
style. The woodwork is 
enamel, with mahogany 
doors. There is a high 
paneled wainscoting, above 
which the walls are covered 
with blue striped paper. In 
the corners are china cabi- 
nets, which constitute a part 
of the wainscoting; they 
are cleverly arranged with 
broken curved pediments 
and latticed glazed doors. 
The ceiling is beamed in 
squares, and is supported 
by a substantial cornice;

room overlooking the garden is 
almost completely filled 
with windows; in the cen-

provided with a great

awnings, is used as an outdoor

Ground plan of the house 
and garden 
The pantry, in itself a room 
of some size, occupies the space 
behind the breakfast-room, and, 
of course, connects with the 
dining-room. It is painted with white 
and green enamel, and has a floor of 
white and green rubber tiling. Its 
fittings are entirely adequate to every 
need. A stairway and dumbwaiter 
connect directly with the  base- 
ment below, which contains the 
kitchen, laundry, heating apparatus, 
fuel rooms and cold storage, together 
with all the minor offices necessary 
in a mansion of this size and descrip- 
tion. 
The literary portions of the house are on the right 
of the entrance-hall, and fill the whole of that side.
