House and Garden 
Passing under the 
lofty portico one en¬ 
ters directly into the 
spacious hall, twenty 
feet in width, which 
extends through the 
entire house. The 
walls are tinted a soft, 
rich green that har¬ 
monizes perfectly 
with the white wood¬ 
work and the deep, 
mellow coloring of 
the priceless old 
mahogany which con¬ 
stitutes the furnish¬ 
ings of the hall. A 
most attractive and 
unusual feature of the 
room is a beautiful 
groined arch, forming 
a portion of the ceil¬ 
ing and supported at 
the corners by four 
slender white pillars. 
This was designed by 
Mrs. DeWolf, the

portico while two 
smaller c o 1 u m n s 
support a balcony 
protected by the 
porch roof and 
upon which opens a 
broad glass door in 
tbe second story. On 
either side of the 
house are verandas 
facing north and 
south respectively 
and overlooking beds 
of old-fashioned 
flowers and smooth 
expanses of lawn 
shaded by grand old 
trees. In front tbe 
green of gently slop¬ 
ing turf and high, 
arching boughs make 
a fitting frame for the 
blue water of tbe 
harbor and the pic¬ 
turesque colonial 
town of Bristol which 
lie beyond.
