porcelain fixtures with exposed nickelplated plumbing. The serv- 

 ants' bedrooms and bath are placed on the third floor, while the 

 heating apparatus, fuel rooms, and cold storage are placed in 

 the cellar. 



The plans and the elevations have been well worked out by the 

 architect, Mr. E. S. Child, of New York. 



The garden is a notable feature of this property, and is laid out in 

 close relation to the house. There has been much planting done 

 about the grounds which surround the house, with clusters of shrubs 

 placed at either side of the porch and in front of the entrance, 

 window boxes placed in front of the windows of the first story 

 and filled with red geraniums, and "sunshine" vines add a touch of 

 color to the general scheme of the place. 



Englewood is a town of such superabundant charms, so 

 finely located, so beautifully laid out with many charming 

 houses and gardens, some of which, quite within city limits 

 — for the place is legally a city — are true estates, that it is 

 success of no mean order to achieve architectural distinction 

 amid such surround- 

 ings. The present 

 house possesses 

 many obvious ad- 

 vantages of its own. 

 It is simply de-

are copies of the antiques. French windows open onto 

 the living-porch, which is well furnished with wicker 

 furniture and a red and green rug. 



Another door opens into the butler's pantry, which 

 is fitted with drawers, shelves and sink. The store 

 pantry, which communicates with the butler's pantry, is 

 also fitted up complete. Doors from both of the pan- 

 tries open into the kitchen. Special attention has been 

 given to the kitchen and its dependencies. The walls 

 of the kitchen are wainscoted with white glazed tile. 

 The kitchen is provided with a sink, range built in a 

 fireplace, laundry furnished with porcelain laundry 

 tubs, and a store closet. 



The second floor is divided into bedrooms furnished 

 with all the necessary appurtenances. The owner's 

 suite, consisting of two bedrooms, dressing-room and a 

 bathroom, is conveniently arranged. Besides the 

 owner's suite, there are also four guest rooms and bath- 

 room on this floor. The entire floor is painted white, 

 and the walls have a two-tone decoration. The bath- 

 rooms on this floor have tiled floors and wainscotinffs and

 effective way. The result is ample justification.
