The superintendent's cottage has the 
same architectural character as the 
other buildings and is English with a 
Norma?i accent in the coigning. On 
the first floor are the superintendent’s 
rooms and the offices, and on the 
second, the dormitories for the farm 
hands. This floor is gained by an 
outside stairs, a closer view of which 
is shown on Page 25. Rows of case¬ 
ment windows and the continued 
eave lines give the general effect of 
a low lying building that fits well 
into its setting. A skyline bit of color 
is found in the red chimney pots sur¬ 
mounting white stuccoed chimneys 
An interesting group is made by 
the milk room and the silo. Here the 
roof swings down low over the 
entrance door—an entrance such as 
one often finds in Normandy. The 
milk is collected in this room and 
carried to the dairy across the farm¬ 
yard. Against the shoulder of this 
building, the tower of the silo rises to 
the roof line with its row of dovecots 
and pointed slate top terminating in a 
ventilator and weather vane. The 
buildings are picturesque and modern 
There are four sections in the group. 
In the center is the wagon room 
with hay lofts above. To the other 
side of it is the horse stall room with 
a paddock beyond. The section this 
side of it up to the silo is a cow 
barn with a cow yard behind. A 
third section for cows is in the build¬ 
ing to the right. The second silo is 
also in this building and beyond it is 
its cow yard. The most modern ma¬ 
chinery and fittings have been in¬ 
stalled throughout these buildings
