House & Garden 
“ROCK ROSE’’ 
MRS. EDWARD 
ROWLAND’S 
COUNTRY 
PLACE 
AT RADNOR, 
PENNSYLVANIA 
Like the brilliant colored villas 
on the Italian lakes the house is 
painted a lovely sun-kissed 
coral color. The balcony and 
the shuttered windows are also 
reminiscent of Italia. From its 
vantage point on the hill, 
through half-closed green blinds 
it looks past terraces across a 
long grassy slope where the 
shadows of tall cypresses mark 
a path to the pool planted in 
formal fashion 
The first terrace with its high 
stone wall leads to an octagonal 
shaped loggia where tea may be 
served. Vines clamber over the 
wall from the border planting 
at the ■ bottom and flowers fill 
the terra cotta jars which are an 
interesting color contrast to the 
vivid blue tiles used in the dec¬ 
oration of the loggia and the 
pointed field stone in varying 
sizes which forms the ter¬ 
race walls
