3—The dining-room is trimmed with oak and its walls are covered with tapestry paper finished with a plate-rack 
lish oak, and has a brick fireplace with cobbles for shelf. 
The dining-room has a fireplace with a craftsman mantel 
and tile facings and hearth. The walls are covered with a 
tapestry paper to the height of seven feet, at which point 
a plate-rack extends around the room. A bay window at 
the front forms a place for flowers. The kitchen and the 
service end of the house are most complete. The second floor: 
contains three _ bedrooms, 
sewing-room and two bath- 
rooms. The servants’ rooms 
and trunk room, are placed 
in the attic. The cellar con- 
tains a heating apparatus, 
fuel rooms and laundry. The 
bathroom is furnished with 
a tiled floor and imitation 
tiled wainscoting and porce- 
lain fixtures and _ exposed 
nickelplated plumbing. The 
woodwork of the second floor 
is painted white, and the 
walls are treated in one par- 
ticular color scheme. 
One of the most interest- 
ing houses in the group is 
that belonging to Mr. A. D. 
Smith (Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 
10, 11 and 12). The de- 
sign is distinctly English in 
character. The underpinning 
is built of rough fieldstone, 
while the superstructure is 
of stucco. Small lighted 
windows and a hooded 
entrance help carry out the 
effect sought. The gray of 
the stucco walls, the white- 
painted trim and the green-

stained roof form a 
happy color scheme. 
The hall, reached from a 
vestibuled entrance-porch, is 
trimmed with cypress, fin- 
ished in an artistic manner, 
with a sufficient amount of 
brown stain to give it a soft 
effect, and at the same time 
preserve the grain of the 
wood. This hall leads di- 
rectly into the living-room 
and dining-room, and also 
open onto the living-porch at 
the side of the house. 
The living-room is trimmed 
with cypress, and has a large 
bay window at the side of the 
room, opposite the entrance, 
and another bay window at 
the front of the room pro- 
vided with a window seat. 
The fireplace has a craftsman 
mantel with tiled facings. 
Seats are built in on either 
side of the fireplace. The 
walls are covered with two- 
toned mustard-yellow wall 
covering. ‘The hangings are 
of greenish-yellow in tone, 
and the whole color scheme 
of the room is most effective and artistic. 
The dining-room has a French window opening on to the 
living-porch, and making it within easy access to the kitchen, 
so that it can be brought into service in summer for dining 
uses. The trim is of English oak, and the wall is covered 
with a green wall covering of an effective shade. The 
kitchen and pantry are fitted up complete.
