The house crowns a hilltop in a pine jorest—a hill that dips down 
to a lake. It is built of red brick with a white stone basement and 
trim. At the side two wings extend to double porches, with an 
awninged terrace between. This balanced grouping gives deep- 
shadowed, paved porches below and screened sleeping porches above. 
The arched doors between open on the loggia. A white balustrade 
with carved urns extends around the roof. The blinds are green 
A Colonial design of carved pilasters, sur¬ 
mounted by a slightly projecting pediment, 
pronounces the front entrance. Over the 
paneled door is a fanlight. Windows on 
either side open on iron balconies. The 
red brick walls make a setting for this 
beautifid doorway 
So many city houses have been built in the 
Georgian style that we do not associate 
that type with a country place. Yet the 
very contrast of its dignified lines with the 
natural woodland surroundings pronounces 
the beauty of its design
