36 House & Garden 
Tebbs 
In addition to its delightful proportions and excellently chosen furniture, the 
feature of the dining room is found in the three large openings facing the 
garden. In summer these are left open, forming a loggia effect; in winter 
or in inclement weather they can be closed. The windows drop into a slot in 
the floor and are entirely out of sight 
When the old ceiling was removed the ancient, hand-adzed beams were ex¬ 
posed. These form a feature of the room. The fireplace is restored to its origi¬ 
nal state. It had a Dutch oven in the rear, which was filled in and made into 
a small modern fireplace. These questionable improvements were removed 
and its first generous capacity and shape restored
