frames and the entire building was 

 painted a pure white. 



The interior shows a large liv- 

 ing-room with a great open fire- 

 place and a Dutch oven. The white 

 painted trim and the walls, covered 

 with linen and painted a cream- 

 white, carry out the old Colonial 

 effect. The staircase rises out of 

 this living-room, and has white 

 painted risers and balusters and a 

 mahogany rail. The small alcove 

 contains a bookcase and seat. The 

 dining-room walls, which are cov- 

 ered with linen, are tinted a pea- 

 green. The kitchen and small hall 

 is fitted up complete. 



The second story was renovated, 

 and the four bedrooms had dormer 

 windows built in the roof for extra 

 ventilation and light. The bath- 

 room is fully equipped and the 

 whole house placed in a first class 

 sanitary condition. 



"Wayside," Mr. Gerrit Smith's 

 house, is another of the renovated 

 farm houses. It was built in 1749, 

 and its transformation under Mr. 

 Paddock's direction to its present 

 condition has not been excessive. A 

 piazza and a bay window were 

 added to the side of the house and 

 a bay window to the front; both 

 the bay windows give additional 

 space in the rooms to which they 

 are attached. 



The first floor contains a great 

 living-room, with a large open fire- 

 place and old Dutch oven, its old 

 stone hearth and facings and its 

 simple mantelshelf. The walls are 

 covered with narrow green and 

 white striped paper, and the trim- 

 mings are painted white. The 

 windows are hung with chintz cur- 

 tains with red roses on a white 

 ground. 



The drawing-room is finished in 

 lavender and white. The walls are 

 covered with a barred paper in 

 lavender and white, and the win- 

 dows are hung with chintz curtains 

 in lavender and white. 



The dining-room is finished in 

 yellow and white. The walls are 

 covered with yellow and white 

 paper and the furniture is painted 

 yellow to match. Yellow and 

 white chintz curtains are hung at 

 the windows. A bathroom was 

 built in the second story and 

 equipped with all the best modern 

 conveniences. 



"Naganook" (Little Home) is 

 another of the old farm houses, 

 built in 1764, and also remodeled 

 by Mr. Paddock. 



The exterior of this house was 

 maintained in its entirety. The in- 

 terior was changed, however, and
