The severe classi¬ 
cal style following 
the Third Colonial 
Period has been 
called American 
Empire. It is suc- 
cessfully used in 
this dining room, 
where green 
painted walls, con¬ 
soles, mirrors and 
table all produce a 
room of pleasing 
dignity 
A classical Empire 
cornice of dull 
gold lightens the 
green walls. The 
white wood trim 
is early Georgian 
in character, the 
chairs of a Chip¬ 
pendale design and 
the rug shows 
Adam proclivities. 
A marble base¬ 
board gives a 
foundation 
Northern! 
The inset placques and brackets with 
busts are Empire features. These busts 
reproduce in green bronze originals 
excavated at Herculaneum during the 
18 th Century. They were executed by 
di Angelis of Naples 
As Reproduced in the Dining Room of 
E. Elliott Guild, Esq., at Boston, Mass. 
LITTLE & BROWNE, Architect.
