reached by two stairways, 
one of which ascends to the 
billiard-room and extra 
guest room, and the other is 
a private way for the serv- 
ants to their rooms. 
The architects, Messrs. 
Kirby, Petit & Green, of 
New York, used great care 
when they designed this 
house, for the reason that 
it had to meet certain re- 
quirements. The highest 
point of the estate was se- 
lected for the site on 
account of its commanding 
position and the magnif- 
cent views obtained from it. 
The house was built with 
its end toward the roadway 
in order to secure the south- 
ern exposure for all the 
principle _ living-rooms, 
while the music-room, 
which was placed on the 
northwest side of the house, 
receives the glowing tints of 
the setting sun in the late 
afternoon. 
It was quite important 
that the principle living- 
rooms of the house be 
placed so that they secure the early morning sun in winter 
and the prevailing breezes from the sea in summer, and it 
was particular important that the sleeping-rooms be arranged 
in a similar manner; this is a point which has been very care- 
fully considered in the designing of this house.
