House & Garde 
The house is simple and 
ivithout architectural pre¬ 
tensions, but interesting by 
reason oj its English Gothic 
influence and the touch oj 
Venetian marble in the 
chimney. The sleeping 
porch arches reproduce a 
theme jrom Lincoln Ca¬ 
thedral 
Wistaria growing without 
let or hindrance softens the 
lines of the formal columns 
and late in May fills the 
air with the fragrance of 
its blossoms. A rolling 
screen closes this opening 
when desired
