AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



September, 1907 



monize with the ma- 

 h o g a n y furniture 

 with which the 

 room is furnished. 

 An open fireplace 

 with Welsh tile 

 hearth and facings 

 and an attractive 

 mantel, and the bay 

 window, with case- 

 ment frames, are 

 the features of the 

 dining-room. 



The butler's pan- 

 try is fitted up with 

 sink and dresser, 

 and by communicat- 

 ing with the kitchen 

 through a servants' 

 hall and staircase 

 forms a double iso- 

 lation of the kitchen 

 and its dependen- 

 cies, and prevents 

 any possibility of 

 the kitchen odors 

 penetrating the re- 

 m a i n d e r of the 

 house. 



The kitchen and 

 laundry are well 

 fitted with all the 

 best modern con- 

 veniences, and the 

 servants' hall is also 



A Side Porch Leading from the Terrace 



a good feature and 

 a necessary one for 

 a well equipped 

 house. These apart- 

 ments are trimmed 

 with yellow pine 

 treated with a hard 

 oil paint. An in- 

 closed clothes yard 

 at the rear of the 

 house is an impor- 

 tant annex to the 

 country house. The 

 second floor is 

 trimmed with white 

 wood and painted 

 ivory white ; it con- 

 tains the owner's 

 suite, consisting of a 

 large bedroom, 

 dressing-room and 

 bathroom, and two 

 guest rooms and 

 bathrooms. The 

 bedrooms have am- 

 ple closets, and two 

 of them have open 

 fireplaces with tiled 

 facings. The ex- 

 tension over the 

 kitchen contains 

 three servants' bed- 

 rootns and a bath- 

 room. The furnace 

 is in the cellar. 



Dignity Is Maintained in the Hall with Its Paneled Walls and Antique Furnishings
