Photographs by Jackson & Whitman 
The focal interest centers in 
the stone fireplace carved hy 
Hunt Dietrich, and its at¬ 
tendant accessories—a 
wrought-iron screen of in¬ 
tricate design and two tall 
wrought-iron standards sup¬ 
ported hy greyhounds 
Found in an old English 
“pub,” the wainscoting and 
doors are carved with Eng¬ 
lish kings and knights. 
About them the room was 
built — rough cast walls 
above, moulded plaster ceil¬ 
ing and wrought-iron fixtures 
Against the carved back¬ 
ground were set antique 
pieces and new—a davenport 
in blue and old rose silk, a 
large chair in dull blue green 
silk. The rug is black and 
the curtains are old rose 
lined with blue
