THE RESIDENCE OF 
W. SEWARD WEBB, JR. 
MANHASSET, LONG ISLAND 
CROSS & CROSS, Architects 
Photographs by Coutant 
Quite the most interesting factor contributing to 
the success of this country house clining-rooni is the 
set of authentic Chippendale chairs. They are of 
an early design with swept whorl top-rail, vertically 
pierced splats and carved crested knees 
The house lies low to the ground. A,9 seen in the 
photograph below, one steps from the living-room 
or porch out to a broad stretch of lawn. The 
boundaries are defined by a hedge, and beyond lies 
the flotver garden rich in bloom 
A typical farmhouse type, the plan is balanced 
and the fenestration regular. At one end is 
a service wing and at the other a porch. The 
house is of wide lapped shingles painted 
white, and the blinds are green
