AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



March, 1908 



Bookcases are built in 

 at either side, and above 

 is a mantelshelf supported 

 on brackets. The studio ex- 

 tension is a unique feature, 

 both inside and out. It has 

 a high pointed ceiling over 

 the north window, which 

 rises into the peak of the 

 roof, and built in Gothic 

 form. 



The dining-room is fin- 

 ished with a dark brown 

 stained trim. The pantry is 

 fitted up complete. The 

 kitchen is furnished with a 

 range, sink, dresser, store 

 pantry, servants' toilet, and 

 laundry separated from the 

 kitchen and fitted with three 

 laundry tubs. The rear 

 stairs continue right up to 

 the third story, which con- 

 tains the servants' quar- 

 ters and trunk room, while 

 the front stairs end at the 

 second story with a large 

 open rail into the hall be- 

 low. 



The second floor contains 

 the sleeping-rooms and 



bathroom; the latter having tiled wainscoting and porcelain 

 fixtures and exposed plumbing. 



The third house in the scries was also built at Wayne. The 

 building was designed with a low effect, produced by placing 

 the greatest dimension of the house toward the street; this

at the side of the property into the pergola have proved so 

 convenient and attractive that these are used in preference to 

 the ones designated by the original plan. 



By this arrangement it has been possible to increase the 



size of the lawn space in front and use the one walk, which 



was intended for the service end of the 



house. This walk is inclosed by a privet 



hedge, which extends around the house. 



Midway between the street and the per- 

 gola is a rustic arbored entrance to the 

 bowling green, in front of the house, which 

 is large enough for a tennis court. The walk 

 to the service end of the house branches off 

 at the kitchen entrance and passes on to the 

 croquet court, which has been leveled out of 

 the sloping ground at the rear of the prop- 

 erty. This court is surrounded by fruit 

 trees, grape vines and shrubs, such as

 house.

 around the drying yard.
