The House Setting Back from the Road Affords an Opportunity for a Broad Expanse of Velvet Lawn, Enclosed by a Low Stone Fence 



countershelf is devoted to the china closets with leaded glass 

 doors, while the space above Is arched and provided with 

 shelves. In the opposite corner of the room is the fireplace, 

 which is built with a facing and hearth of Moravian tile, 

 and a mantel of simple design with the shelf resting on carved 

 brackets. 



A door with the 

 upper panel glazed 

 in leaded glass opens 

 into the butler's pan- 

 try, which forms the 

 connecting link be- 

 tween the kitchen 

 and the dining-room. 

 This butler's pantry 

 is fitted with draw- 

 ers, dressers, and 

 sink complete. The 

 kitchen and its de- 

 pendencies, includ- 

 ing the servants' 

 hall, which is now a 

 proper adjunct to 

 the well-regulated 

 house, is fitted with 

 all the best modern 

 .fixtures. 



The second floor 

 is finished off in a 

 very handsome man-

 of the House Is Reached 



ner, for the hall and each room are treated in one particular 

 style and color scheme. The bedrooms are large and well 

 lighted and are furnished with well-fitted closets. The bath- 

 rooms have tile wainscotings and tile floors, and are fur- 

 nished with porcelain fixtures and exposed nickel-plated 



plumbing. The third 

 floor contains extra 

 rooms and bath and 

 also ample storage 

 space. The heating 

 apparatus, fuel 

 rooms, and cold stor- 

 age cellar are placed 

 In the cellar, which 

 has a cemented bot- 

 tom. 



Mr. L I n d 1 e y 

 Johnson, of Phila- 

 delphia, Pa., who 

 was the architect of 

 the house, accepted 

 the English half-tim- 

 bered house as his 

 prototype, and Mr. 

 Sargent's Is a very 

 fine example of that 

 particular style of 

 work for which he 

 has made a special 

 study.
