House & Garden 
The design of the house is a com¬ 
bination of various typical 'New 
England Colonial elements modified. 
Houses much of this character are 
to be seen today in old Salem and 
Portsmouth. They date from about 
1800. In the white panel blinds is 
also found a suggestion of Phila¬ 
delphian Colonial influence. The 
scheme is simple and dignified

The first floor plan shows a house-depth 
hall with library and drawing-room on 
one side and dining-room and service 
quarters on the other. The porches and 
verandas are paved with red quarry tile 
and the floors are white oak

arranged in suites around a large hall. 
There is a plentiUide of light and ven¬

closet space is also available. The rear

The architecture has "come through” 
to the interiors, which have been fin¬ 
ished in Colonial style. The dignity 
of the woodwork in the dining-room is 
typical of the general architectural 
backgrounds of all the rooms of the 
house. Incidentally, this overmantel 
treatment is an excellent example of 
the proper arrangement for that part 
of a dining-room
