place, with tiled hearth and facings and finished with a 
Colonial mantel of excellent design and surrounded by a 
massive paneled over-mantel, is quite the feature of the room. 
Directly opposite the living-room and across the hall, 
is the dining-room which is trimmed with mahogany. It 
has a paneled wainscoting and a wooden cornice between 
which the walls are covered with a forest decorative paper, 
showing trees, etc. An open fireplace with tile facings and 
hearth has a mantel with a china closet over, forming the 
important characteristic of the room.

Fig. 13—The first-floor plan of the Rogers’ house 
A door opens into the butler’s closet, which is well-fitted 
up, and a second door opens into the kitchen. The kitchen 
is trimmed with yellow pine and is finished with hard oil, 
and is provided with all the best modern conveniences. One 
door leads to a lobby large enough to contain an ice-box, and 
from which access is obtained to the porch, while another 
door opens into the front hall. 
The second floor is trimmed with white pine and is treated 
with ivory-white paint. The walls of each room are deco- 
rated in one distinctive style and color-scheme.
