The chimneys are built of Sayreville brick 
laid with wide joints. 
The main entrance is on the south portico, 
through a large vestibule divided from the 
main hall by a flat Doric arch enriched with 
triglyphs and supported on columns. 
At the right of the hall is the large 
living-room, and to the left, on the 
main axis of the house, is another 
hall running at right angles and from 
which open the billiard and dining 
rooms. At the end of the main 
hall opposite the vestibule is a wide 
stairway, finished in white pine and 
mahogany, with wainscoting on the 
wall side and carved stair-brackets on 
the other. From this end of the hall 
opens the library, which is purposely 
removed somewhat from the main 
part of the first floor. 
The rooms are throughout Colo¬ 
nial in style, finished in white, and re¬ 
lieved by wood cornices,chair-rails and arches. 
The walls are ol sand finished plaster, painted 
in subdued tints. The celiing ot the dining¬ 
room is slightly vaulted, while that of the halls 
is treated with beams.
