AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 
309 
One hardly needs 
to dwell on _ the 
charm of this de- 
lightful summer 
home—for a sum- 
mer home it is, and 
nothing else, since 
houses of this size 
and style are only 
built at Bridge- 
hampton for sum- 
mer use. Moreover, 
it has all the char- 
acteristics of the 
summer home. Sub- 
stantially built, its 
rambling plan, its 
ample rooms, its 
form of structure, 
and its graceful ar- 
chitecture are each 
and all eminently 
expressive of tht 
summer home of the 
best type. 
And this type is 
that in which con- 
venience and sim- 
plicity are supreme 
in every part. Miss 
Quimby’s home is 
Exposed structure is the feature of the dining-room 
The stable harmonizes with the house 
ornate enough to 
meet the most exact- 
ing taste, but it is 
eminently simple 
and direct, so simple 
and direct as to be 
wholly structural, a 
style of building 
that is often the 
most satisfactory, 
and which is here 
perfectly so. 
Of distinguishing 
characteristics, the 
most pronounced is 
the exposed finish of 
the interior. Simple 
as this is in concep- 
tion, it often fails 
in execution. A fine 
success is obtained 
here, a success that 
is at once pictur- 
esque and homelike. 
It is not the least at- 
traction of ‘‘Annes- 
den” that with a 
uniform style of this 
kind the interior is 
so cheery and so 
homelike.
