point—the interior has, on the ground floor, but three rooms. 
These consist of a living-room, a dining-room and a kitchen. 
The living-room is entered immediately from the main door- 
way, which has no vestibule nor introductory or separating 
passage, since none is needed, as quite ample protection is 
afforded by the en- 
trance porch under 
which it stands. It

Flemish oak, wood- 
paneled to the win- 
dow-sills, above 
which is a paper in 
brown, red and 
green. A plate-rack 
is carried completely 
around the room, 
and serves the pur- 
pose of a frieze. In 
one corner are the 
stairs leading to the 
second story, and in 
the center of the . 
front wall is the fire- 
place, for which the 
great outer chim- 
ney was built. 
Opening from 
this room on the right, is the dining-room. ‘The meaning 
and purpose of the bay-window on the side is now made 
clear, for it supplies a brilliant illumination to this room, 
as well as much-needed floor space. The walls are treated

character of the living-room. 
In one corner is a door leading to the butler’s pantry, 
which, in its turn, is directly connected with the kitchen, 
which thus occupies the innermost part of the house and is at 
a point the farthest removed from the street. Like all good 
kitchens, it is well- 
furnished and 
equipped with ll 
the necessary fix- 
tures of the best 
types Mention 
should, however, be 
made of the laun- 
dry, which is con- 
trived in one corner 
and is actually sep- 
arated from the 
kitchen proper. It 
is an arrangement 
seldom found in 
houses so modest as 
this, but is exceed- 
ingly convenient and 
useful. 
The second story 
discloses four bed- 
rooms and a bath. 
room, the latter be- 
ing located above the laundry. All these rooms are charm- 
ingly appointed and conveniently related to each other. 
There is a charm about this house both within and with- 
out, and it is eminently attractive in every way. Its interior 
provides more space than its exterior suggests, and its fittings 
and furnishings are in the best of taste.
