A remarkable combi¬ 
nation of whitewashed 
brick walls and Span¬ 
ish tiles is ionnd in 
the residence of Nel¬ 
son Doubleday, Esq., 
at Oyster Bay, L. I. 
The entrance vesti¬ 
bule is pronounced by 
an arch and border 
of exposed brick, 
flanked by tall cedars. 
The feeling of the 
house is Italian, yet it 
is an Italian adapted 
successfidly to an 
American country eru- 
vironment 
There should be tio 
rear to a country 
house. The service 
wing should be so 
combined with the 
house that one can 
approach it from any 
angle. This is proven 
in the residence of 
George Bourne, Esq., 
at Mill Neck, L. I. 
Garage and kitchen 
are in the southeast 
wing, which is suc¬ 
cessfully incorporated 
in the lines of the 
house and hidden by 
the border plantings
