The hallway, another 
view of which can be 
found on page 30, has 
a magnificence e m i- 
nemly befitting its lo¬ 
cation. Against the 
Caen stone walls silhou¬ 
ette bronze railings. 
Antique tapestries are 
hung here. The carpet 
is plain red and the 
ceiling ivory. Italian 
walnut furniture with 
red upholstery finds a 
fitting place in such a 
hall. Baumgarten was 
the decorator 
From the hall one 
passes to an Eliza¬ 
bethan dining room 
paneled in oak and built 
around a reproduction 
of an old mantel. The 
facing is carved lime¬ 
stone. The furniture, 
modern work after old 
designs, is carved oak 
and tapestry. H an g- 
ings are made from an¬ 
tique crimson Broca- 
telli. The rug, showing 
two tones of crimson, 
matches the hangings. 
Fixtures are bronze.
