The Whole Style of Mr. Ingomals' House is Simple and in Good Taste 



placed in a separate hall, and rises up from a broad landing. 

 It has a seat at its side, and an ornamental balustrade. The 

 parlor is separated from the living-hall by an archway pro- 

 vided with Colonial columns. Opposite the entrance there 

 is placed a console mirror extending from the floor to the 

 ceiling. This room is also trimmed with oak, and is finished 

 in a Flemish brown. The dining-room, trimmed with a 

 similar oak, is finished with a golden brown, and has an open 

 fireplace with a brick hearth and facings and an oak mantel. 

 A door from the dining-room leads into the pantry, provided 

 with drawers and dressers, and from the pantry another door 

 leads Into the kitchen, the latter being fitted with all the best 

 modern conveniences. 



The four bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor are 

 trimmed with cypress and finished natural, while the walls 

 are tinted in one color scheme. The bathroom Is wain- 

 scoted with tiles, and is furnished with porcelain fixtures and 

 exposed nickel plumbing. 



There is one servant's bedroom and trunk room on the 

 third floor. This house cost $3200 complete. 



TKe House of M. T. Bull, Esq. 



The first consideration in building a suburban house for 

 Mr. Bull was to look over the site and arrive at a definite 

 conclusion of the best style and form to use, and this is what 

 Mr. Schubert did when he designed this house. The house 



Is pleasing to the eye and is In good taste. The form is on 

 the square, thereby giving good square rooms In the Interior 

 and an exterior that is dignified and not over ornate in its 

 treatment. 



The underpinning is built of rock-faced stone, and the ex- 

 terior framework is covered with matched sheathing, good 

 building paper and shingles which are stained a soft brown, 

 while the trimmings are painted white. The roof is covered 

 with shingles and stained a moss green. 



A vestibule forms the entrance to the house, which is 

 trimmed with oak. From the vestibule one enters the hall, 

 which occupies the greater part of the front of the house. It 

 Is trimmed with oak and has a paneled wainscoting seven 

 feet in height, and ceiling beams, the whole of which is fin- 

 ished in Flemish brown. The fireplace is built of brick, with 

 brick facings, hearth and mantel. The staircase Is recessed 

 from this hall, and is separated by an archway and screen, 

 and on account of its semi-isolation it seemed advisable when 

 planning this house to dispense with the servants' staircase 

 and use this in combination with an access to it from the 

 kitchen through the butler's pantry. The parlor, separated 

 from the hall by an archway, supported on columns, is 

 trimmed with oak finished in a golden oak. Opposite the 

 entrance is a console mirror rising from the floor to the 

 celling. A Colonial base two feet in height extends around 

 the walls of this room. The house cost $4250.
