The glassed in porch serves as a winter sunroom 
where potted plants bloom through the cold 
weather. Above it is a sleeping porch for sum¬ 
mer use. The woods and hill to the north act 
as good protectors from cold winds. The view,' 
shown here is of the southwest exposure 
The RESIDENCE of 
ROBERT L. WOOD, Esq. 
CHESTNUT HILL, PA. 
JOHN GKAHAM, Jr, .Inhiua 
At the east end of the red 
brick paved terrace is the 
breakfast porch with its 
pergola roof. Here and on 
the supporting pillars grow 
climbing vines. A line of 
stepping stones leads from 
the end of the terrace 
There is little waste space 
in the house, considerable 
cleverness having been 
shown in the utilization of 
the corners and angles. As 
is fitting in a house of this 
arclrtectural style, the plan 
shows open rooms without 
suggestion of restriction 
.It the rear is the entrance 
with its two white painted 
benches, knocker and old 
black iron hanging lantern. 
This entrance opens into 
the vestibule which in turn 
connects directly with the 
living room shown opposite 
Two bathrooms and four 
chambers are on the sec¬ 
ond floor, besides the ser¬ 
vants’ quarters. A fire¬ 
place in the children’s room 
is a welcome feature on 
wintry nights. A straight 
lengthwise hallway serves 
all the rooms
