House & Garden 
28 
There is a touch of half-timber in the upper 
story of the tower. ,1 decorative detail, 
this, tower serves for dove cote and belfry ; 
here hangs the bell that calls the hands to 
work. The buttressed walls are an interest¬ 
ing feature of this view 
Looking lip the hill from this point one 
sees a corner of the farmer’s cottage and 
a section of the machinery storage build¬ 
ing. Xote how deep-set are the door and 
window frames. The slate of the roof is 
repeated on the fence and post tops 
The buildings are on two levels of ground, 
on the shoulder of a gently sloping hill. 
They are grouped around a large yard with 
low fences and gates at each end. Archi¬ 
tecturally, the buildings are a combination 
of French and English, and reminiscent of 
the picturesque old-world farms one finds 
in Normandy
