House & Garden 
Projecting bays on the front facade of this house, at 
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., give added interest to the exterior 
and form pleasant features of the living and'■ dining rooms. 
A recessed terrace and a piazza off the dining room provide 
more than the usual outdoor sitting space 
To keep the direction of the building from being accentuated 
vertically, as the two chimney stacks suggest, the architect 
has placed a belt course over the first story windows. This 
is shadowed by a slight flare of the shingles. The colors 
of the house are suitable for a country site—white painted 
shingles, green blinds and a brown roof. Lewis E. Welsh 
was the architect 
All the chambers are arranged with 
separate baths, a desirable provision 
in a country house designed for hos¬ 
pitality. In the attic is ample space 
for two more large rooms and baths 
The corridor in the ell is lighted by 
two windows and a large stair win¬ 
dow lights the middle corridor 
A large central hall with shorter halls 
on either side provide an air of spaci¬ 
ousness to the first floor that is par- 
ticidarly desirable in a summer house. 
In fact, the entire arrangement of 
rooms is one that lends an air of 
comfort rather than suggesting studied 
economizing on space
