House & Garden 
An unusual group of supporting columns 
and beams has been used in the hallway. 
Of the three columns, the end ones suppoil 
the floor immediately above which the third 
continues on as a support to the roof. The 
stairs and interior finish are cement 
A view of the right end gable, 
with the garden wall in the 
foreground. The interesting 
feature of this detail is the fen¬ 
estration, the beautiful effect 
gotten by the restrained use of 
windows in the broad, rough 
wall surface 
(Right) A porch detail of the 
arches and the simple casement 
windows. Beyond, in the porch 
wall, has been set an elaborately 
carved fountain with a semi¬ 
circular pool at its foot around 
which are grouped potted 
flowers 
From the general view it will be noticed 
that while the house is symmetrical, sym¬ 
metry has not been imposed upon it. There 
is the saving grace of interesting details. 
Mr. Colby, who is a well-known artist, is 
responsible for the designing of the house
