In England a great deal of attention is given to centering the family 
life about the hearth. This inglenook is almost an additional room 
The raised hearth with flanking seats is characteristic of the inglenook 
and results in making the fireplace a distinctive feature

Even very simple fireside seats make 
an attractive corner by the hearth 
An interesting effect is obtained here in tiling the entire 
inglenook. The seats and mantel are all one 
1 he large oak seats are really con¬ 
tinuations of the wall paneling 
The heavy beams make the disposition of an inglenook a simple matter. 
The grotesque figures are an interesting addition 
The English architects seem disposed toward glazed tile fireplaces, 
which they make in interesting harmony with the woodwork
