Residents of Germantown and its vicinity are most 
fortunate in having an attractive local stone, 
sparkling with mica, which the Philadelphia archi¬ 
tects have learned so well how to use with the broad 
white mortar joints 
The first floor plan is of a 
common type that works 
out extremely well—cen¬ 
tral hall, a living-room 
taking one whole end, and 
the dining-room opposite, 
backed by the service 
wing 
On the second floor one door 
closes off the servants’ 
bedrooms with their back 
stairway. On the third 
floor there are two good 
bedrooms, with closets, a 
bath and an ample store¬ 
room
