HOUSE AND GARDEN 
300 
N 
OVEMBER, 
I9IO. 
The front of the house, with the entrance to the doctor’s office under the porte-cochere at the right and the family entrance at the left. The 
land originally sloped sharply away from the highway shown in the foreground, but by filling in the front of it and making the house a 
story higher in the back, a rather unpromising site has been reclaimed 
Skilful planning has given the doctor’s office a well lighted end, with 
its vestibule and waiting-room isolated from the living quarters 
It is interesting to notice that the architect has put all the bedrooms 
but one at the rear so as to get the view over the valley 
The central feature on the highway side is 
the recess at the end of the dining-room. 
It serves as a substitute for a front porch
