THE RESIDENCE OF MRS. 
E. A. STEVENS, AT 
BERNARDSVILLE, NEW JERSEY 
An Old Place Remodeled From Plans and 
Suggestions Shown at Various Times 
in House iff Garden 
It was originally an old farm¬ 
house with an adjoining wing. 
In restoring, the spirit and as 
much of the fabric as possible 
have been preserved 
This doorway treatment which 
gives so much interest to the 
treatment of the wing was 
copied from a doorway shown 
in House & Garden 
The main axis of the garden leads 
from the front door, across a sweep 
of lawn, to the pool shown below. 
Half way down it is crossed by a 
path beyond which is the flower 
garden 
Beneath the farther side of the 
house is a ground floor porch, 
paved with brick and com¬ 
fortably furnished for summer 
afternoons. Through the gate 
one passes to the kitchen gar¬ 
den in the field beyond 
The path from the house 
passes between two giant 
weeping willows that over¬ 
shadow the pool. Boulders 
edge the pool and form a rim 
between the water's edge and 
the close-cropped lawn
