RESIDENCE OF FRANCIS L. POTTS, Esq., 
BRYN MAWR, PA. 
Cope IA Stewardson, Architects, Philadelphia 
TN the June number of House and Gar- 
den, illustrations of a completed residence 
were shown, of which the architect’s original 
sketches had been printed in our columns 
two years earlier. In this issue we again 
have, through the courtesy of the architects, 
another opportunity of the same sort with 
reference to the fine country residence of 
Francis L. Potts, Esq., at Bryn Mawr, Pa., 
the working drawings of which were shown 
in House and Garden for August, 1903. 
The garden and its adjuncts have not yet 
been developed, and the effect of the house is 
not completely brought out through the lack 
of this important accessory, but sufficient 
is seen to show that it is a worthy exemplar 
of a type of suburban and rural architecture 
for which Philadelphia has long been justly 
famous, and to whose fame none have made 
more important contributions than the firm 
of architects to whom this design is due. 
The house is built of Germantown blue 
stone and Green River limestone, with a 
red tde roof covering. The owner most 
wisely had the construction made fire-proof 
throughout with terra-cotta floors and steel 
and concrete roof. The Hall has a marble 
floor and wainscot, the stairs are of marble 
with a wrought and cast bronze hand rail. 
The Dining-room is finished in mahogany, 
the Billiard-room in natural oak, the Music- 
room in white mahogany, the Library in 
fumed oak, the Drawing-room in white, and 
there are molded plaster ceilings, after the 
Elizabethan manner, in all of the principal 
rooms throughout the house. The exterior
