Fig. 16—The second-floor plan of the Rogers’ house 
ouse at Milton, Massachusetts 
There is a large open hall and a sewing-room separated 
by an archway, with columns, as well as three bedrooms and 
two bathrooms on this floor. The owner’s room has a 
private bathroom and an open fireplace. The bathrooms 
have tiled floors and wainscoting, and they are furnished 
with porcelain fixtures and exposed nickelplated plumbing. 
A private stairway leads to the third floor, which contains 
the seryants’ rooms and bath; besides an extra guest-room 
and trunk-room. The heating-apparatus, fuel-rooms, laun- 
dry and cold storage-room are placed in the cellar, which is

built under the entire house. Much planting of shrubs and 
plants has been done about the front entrance, screening 
many of the hard corners. 
The houses described and illustrated in this article are 
of good construction, well-planned, and of good architec- 
tural design. [hey may not, perhaps, illustrate a definite 
tendency in any one direction, but they unmistakably indicate, 
express and typify the current tendency towards excellence. 
They deserve attentive study and will well repay every atten- 
tion that may be given to them.
