AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS

but similar windows in the 

 wall that connects the pa- 

 vilions, while those of the 

 third story are close up 

 under the eaves and hardly 

 count in the front at all. 

 The broadly projecting 

 roof is upheld by oak 

 brackets and finished with 

 a copper gutter. The 

 house stands upon a ter- 

 race, which is completely 

 surrounded with a balus- 

 trade, except at the en- 

 trance and at the great 

 porch on the sea front, but 

 which is interrupted on the 

 north front for the kitchen 

 yard, as will be apparent 

 in the sequel. 



The color of the ex- 

 terior has been very care- 

 fully studied. The basic 

 colors of walls and roof 

 have already been men- 

 tioned. The balustrade, 

 the moldings of the loggia 

 arches, the consoles and 

 brackets and window 

 frames are dead white. 

 The exterior blinds are

green. All the windows 

 are fitted with exterior 

 Venetian blinds, and are 

 without shutters. 



The sea front repro- 

 duces, with but slight mod- 

 ifications, the motifs and 

 elements that have been so 

 successfully employed in 

 the entrance front. There 

 are no loggias here, but 

 the two arches of the 

 lower story are glazed, 

 and open directly into the 

 adjoining rooms. The 

 single upper window is 

 repeated in the pavilions, 

 and the windows of the 

 connecting wall, as well as 

 those of the third story, 

 are identical in design and 

 arrangement with those of 

 the entrance front. The 

 great point of difference 

 here is the vast porch, 

 built in three bays, and 

 which not only fills the 

 space between the pa- 

 vilions, but which extends 

 far forward beyond them. 

 The terrace is considerably
