The terrace is defined by a low stone 
coping accented with formal bushes 
in boxes placed at regular intervals. 
Simple lattice has been used to relieve 
the white walls. The terrace door is 
sheltered by a hood 
The entrance is on the north fagade; 
therefore the small fenestration serves 
the double purpose of protection 
against the whiter cold and conserv¬ 
ing the privacy of the owner. At the 
same time it provides big, unbroken 
wall spaces, creating an air of dig¬ 
nity and staunchness. The chimney 
stacks afford an interesting study. 
Their scale and style are in perfect 
keeping with the rests of the architec¬ 
tural detail. Slates, laid irregularly, 
make a roof of rich color and texture. 
Such details in composition, whether 
in a large house or a small, measure 
the success of its architecture 
In the composition the service-wing 
and garage are segregated, with the 
service yard between, making a con¬ 
venient arrangement and one that does 
not detract from the main entrance 
on the drive. The rounded doorway 
with its dressed stone trim and white 
paneled woodwork adds interest to 
this entrance, interest that is further 
enriched by the touch of wrought 
iron in the lamp and the row of case¬ 
ment windows placed directly above
