The Dining-room Has a Flat Groined Ceiling with Paneled Walls in Buff wilh While Stripes 

 The Floor Is Laid wilh Moravian Tiles 



The Fireplace of the Living-room Is Wood. Painled White, Faced 



and Lined wilh Red Brick 



The Living-room Is French Gray with While Trim. The Curlains Are Buff 



nearly flat that one hardly realizes that, after all, the center 

 is slightly recessed, and the t^vo ends as slightly projected. 

 The change of the surface, in fact, is not more than sufficient 

 to vary the modeling and give texture to what otherwise 

 might be a rather unduly long wall. It is a two-storied 

 house, with a low, fiat, sloping roof, whose eaves constitute 

 its crowning feature. On the left the wall is once more 

 slightly recessed, and rises above the main roof. On the ex- 



treme end a lower structure, one story in height on the outer 

 wall, two within against the house, is applied to the main 

 building, and forms a part of the service wing. The grace- 

 ful curves of its side walls are delightfully drawn, and add a 

 real note of picturesqueness to the whole front. 



The entrance porch is a simple little portico of two Doric 

 columns supporting an entablature, above which is an iron 

 railing to the upper balcony. The main wall is cut away on 



each side, and has square piers and pilasters inserted, with a 

 very slightly detailed entablature. The wall is again re- 

 cessed for the single window cpntained in each of these 

 spaces. While the window treatment of the front is ap- 

 parently regular, it contains some interesting evidences of 

 irregularity. All the windows have plain, narrow frames. 

 The two on the right of the entrance are regularly disposed 

 in both stories. In the center of the second story are three 



Linen wilh Floral Border 



windows; the middle longer than the others and opening 

 onto the balcony before it; the other two, one on each side, 

 being similar to the other windows of this story, but having 

 solid mullions dividing each into two. On the left are two 

 large windows, spaced without reference to the other win- 

 dows of the front, and each with its own wrought iron 

 balcony. One presently disco\ers, on entering the house, 

 that these light the stairs to the second floor. 



The Stairs R,se at One End of the Hail and Have a Wroughl iron Ra.ling 

 of Simple Design
