A Summer Home at Sewickley, Pa. 
THE DINING-ROOM 
of the best class of old English houses. Here, 
as elsewhere, hardwood floors is the universal rule. 
Besides the main entrance from the front, access to 
the hall is had through a side hallway leading from 
the porte-cochere and between the library and the 
billiard-room. All the 
furniture in the hall is 
of such design as to 
harmonize with the 
English architecture. 
Over the fireplace is a 
fine oil painting of the 
late B. E. Jones, Sr. 
One of the striking 
and imposing features 
of the hall is the stair- 
casewhich occupies the 
rear and is lighted from 
the landing. 
The library, one of 
the most beautiful 
rooms in the house, is 
finished simply and 
quietly in rich, Italian 
walnut, and with its 
decorations toning in 
character with the 
quality of the wood¬ 
work, possesses the 
atmosphere which a 
library, in the real 
sense of the word, 
should have. And it 
maybe stated that it 
is well stocked with 
choice editions of the 
world’s classics. 
Of an entirely dif¬ 
ferent character, as far 
as woodwork is con¬ 
cerned, is the living- 
room, of generous 
size, located, like the 
library, in the front of 
the house and on the 
other side of the hall 
from which it opens. 
This room is finished 
in the simplest pos¬ 
sible manner with 
white woodwork and 
furnished so as to be 
desirable and attrac¬ 
tive for summer use. 
At one end of it is a 
spacious sun porch, en¬ 
closed entirely with 
folding metal s a s h , 
which can be opened altogether or closed at will. 
The view of the Sewickley Hills from this sun porch 
is one of the most beautiful and interesting on the 
whole estate. 
Back of the living-room is the dining-room
