House £sf Garden 
The site lies beside a bay on the western 
shore of Lake George and consists of a level 
point of land 
running some 
two hundred 
teet out from 
the general 
shore line, and 
having an 
abundance of 
fine trees. 
From this 
point there is a 
beautiful view 
of the Lake 
toward the 
north, east and 
south; and in 
planning the 
house, the 
porches and 
the main rooms 
were so placed as to obtain the full advan¬ 
tage of this outlook. The plan forms a sym¬ 
metrical cross, 
this scheme be¬ 
ing adopted to 
give the rooms 
light from at 
least two sides. 
As a roomy 
effect inside 
was also de¬ 
sired, a large 
a m ount of 
space was given 
to halls. The 
house is the 
summer home 
of a large fam¬ 
ily, many of 
them children, 
and to give 
access to all in
