House & Garden 
Since it is the home of an artist, the floor 
plan was designed to provide a large 
studio with the living-room subordinated 
and turned to the uses of a library.- The 
studio is, in reality, the living-room 
THE‘^RESIDENCE OF 
D. PUTNAM BRINLEY, 
Esq. 
Architecturally, the house is a Tudor 
adaptation. The setting was a hillside so 
that the foundations on one side are ex¬ 
posed, being of field stone that forms a 
good background for the garden below. 
A door in the wall on the lower side leads 
up to the porch stairs 
The studio runs up through two stories, 
the rest of the space on the seeond floor 
being devoted to bedchambers arranged 
in suites with bathroom and hall space 
economized. A special room has been re¬ 
served for an oratory

In its plaster decorations the house is 
reminiscent of Staffordshire. Here, over 
the Tudor doorway, have been set the fam¬ 
ily crests topped by a charming little bay 
with lattice windows. The foliage of trees 
in the immediate vicinity helps to relieve 
the barrenness of the plaster walls
