H 0 USE & GARDEN 
HOME OF HENRY EDSON, Esq., 
AT HAVERFORD, PENNSYLVANIA 
Martin & Kirkpatrick, Architects 
The rooms are so disposed on the first floor as to afford 
pleasant views without and pleasing vistas and satis¬ 
factory intercommunication within 
On the second floor hall space has been limited to the 
necessary minimum, making the rooms larger and pro¬ 
viding greater accommodations for closets 
Unpretentious in conception and simple in construction, the Talley 
Forge hood is reminiscent of the sturdy simplicity of life and living 
in days gone by. Color is given the entrance by the red bricks laid in 
w'hite bond that form the terrace and approaching steps 
The architecture is a successful fusion of several distinct Colonial 
types with the Pennsylvania farmhouse style predominating. White¬ 
washed local stone constitutes the lower portion of the exterior walls. 
Above, the walls are sheathed with shingles painted lohite. Color relief 
is given by the dark green blinds and the loeathered shingle roof 
The service wing shoion to the left, is strongly reminiscent of old Dutch 
Colonial houses. To its prosaic utilities has been added a more esthetic 
use by the provision of a porch which communicates ivith the dining¬ 
room and makes it ideal for outdoor meals
