   A 
  Brick 
  Fireplace 
  Is 
  the 
  Feature 
  of 
  the 
  Dining-room 
  

  

  of 
  oak 
  finished 
  in 
  an 
  effective 
  manner, 
  and 
  its 
  simple 
  lines 
  harmonize 
  well 
  with 
  the 
  

   crimson 
  walls 
  and 
  the 
  fine 
  old 
  pieces 
  of 
  Colonial 
  furniture 
  with 
  which 
  the 
  room 
  is 
  

   furnished. 
  

  

  The 
  dining-room, 
  which 
  is 
  to 
  the 
  right 
  of 
  the 
  entrance, 
  forms 
  an 
  important 
  element 
  

   in 
  the 
  vista 
  upon 
  entering 
  the 
  hall. 
  It 
  is 
  trimmed 
  with 
  oak, 
  and 
  is 
  finished 
  in 
  a 
  simple 
  

   manner, 
  with 
  oak 
  beams 
  showing 
  in 
  the 
  ceiling 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  walls. 
  An 
  open 
  fireplace 
  with 
  

   brick 
  facings 
  and 
  hearth 
  and 
  a 
  mantel 
  of 
  simple 
  design 
  is 
  the 
  chief 
  feature 
  of 
  this 
  

   room. 
  A 
  large 
  china 
  closet, 
  with 
  dresser 
  and 
  sink, 
  separates 
  the 
  dining-room 
  from 
  

   the 
  kitchen 
  and 
  laundry. 
  Both 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  are 
  fitted 
  up 
  complete 
  with 
  all 
  the 
  best 
  

   modern 
  conveniences. 
  

  

  The 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  bed-rooms 
  on 
  the 
  second 
  floor 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  possible 
  for 
  light, 
  

  

  air 
  and 
  convenience, 
  as 
  each 
  room 
  is 
  exposed 
  on 
  three 
  sides. 
  The 
  stairway 
  is 
  quite 
  an 
  

  

  inusual 
  one, 
  with 
  a 
  combination 
  for 
  two 
  different 
  uses 
  of 
  the 
  stairs 
  from 
  the 
  second 
  landing 
  into 
  two 
  different 
  halls. 
  There 
  are 
  

  

  our 
  bedrooms 
  on 
  this 
  floor, 
  three 
  of 
  which 
  have 
  open 
  fireplaces, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  a 
  bathroom. 
  The 
  servants' 
  bedrooms 
  and 
  trunk-room 
  

  

  ire 
  in 
  the 
  third 
  floor. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  heating 
  apparatus 
  and 
  fuel-rooms 
  in 
  the 
  cellar, 
  which 
  is 
  built 
  under 
  the 
  entire 
  house. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Philip 
  B. 
  Howard, 
  of 
  Boston, 
  Mass., 
  was 
  the 
  architect, 
  and 
  the 
  cost 
  was 
  less 
  than 
  if 
  it 
  had 
  been 
  built 
  of 
  new 
  materials.
