HO USE & GARDEN 
THE HOME OF WILLIAM C. CHENEY, Esq., AT SOUTH MANCHESTER, CONN. 
A. Raymond Ellis, architect 
The merits of this plan lie in its livableness, the ease of 
passage from room to room and the segregation of 
the service quarters 
A wood house: wood frame, roofed with white cedar shingles 
and the walls covered with red cedar painted white, a com¬ 
bination suitable to a rural environment 
The general style is the Northern Tradition with modern adap- 
id wines and fenestration serving to give 
tations, the two end wings .cn^o,. 
perfect balance of line and proportion 
The dining-room, 
halls and cham¬ 
bers are finished 
in whitewood 
painted white in 
an egg-shell fin¬ 
ish ; floors are 
oak, those in the 
chambers North 
Carolina pine 
On the second floor is the same livable division, the unit 
of the owner’s chamber, bathroom and sleeping porch 
being a commendable arrangement 
Though a small matter, the turn 
in the stairs adds character to 
this hallway; that and the de¬ 
tail of simple balusters, railing 
and panels under the stairs
