The utter simplicity of the lines and fenestration of this Colonial 
house is enhanced by the wide bond in which the brick has been 
laid and the ornate doonoay. The plan is simplicity itself. An 
interior vieiv is shown on page 42 
Edmund B. Gilchrist, architect 
Below is pictured a brick house of square plan with the unusual 
feature of a solid paneled balustrade around the porch which 
gives privacy to the second story, especially desirable since the 
house is near the public road

In some of the old 
time mantels the fig¬ 
ures in relief were 
gilded or colored , as 
here where the fruit 
and wheat break the 
severity of the lines 
Both the supporting 
pilasters and the front 
panels are heavily dec¬ 
orated with carved 
garlands and figures 
in high relief
