40 WEST THIRTY-SECOND ST. NEWYORK 
SPECIALISTS IN THE BUILDING 
OF COUNTRY HOUSES 
HESE views are of a coun- 
try place in Greenwich, 
Conn., which we built. 
In a home of this sort, you de- 
0/ mand more than sound construe- 
^ tion. It must possess something 
“ of thatquality which distinguishes 
a fine piece of furniture or a bit 
of rare jewelry—what we term 
the artistry of arthanry. 
The character of work on which 
we specialise (fine country houses) 
has enabled us to gather together 
a remarkable group of masons, 
carpenters and cabinet workers 
who, under the guidance of our 
graduate engineers, are able to 
build into a home a subtle quality 
of elegance and individuality 
which money alone could not buy. 
Our resources enable us to do all 
the work ourselves, thus elimi- 
' nating the uncertainties, annoy- 
ances and increased cost resulting 
^ from sub-let contracts. 
May we send an interesting 
yy- pQftfolio showing notable ex- 
- amples of recently constructed 
Country Houses?
