The house built on a steep hillside always offers an interesting problem to 
the architect as it usually necessitates an irregular arrangement of rooms 
and a fine economy of space. Such was the problem presented in building 
the residence of Mary M. McKelvey at Spuyten Duyvil, N. Y. A stucco 
house with occasional outcroppings of stone, leaded casement windows ana 
a shingle roof laid to simidate the irregularity of thatch, it stands on the 
ed°e of a steep hill. Sufficient level ground was left in front to give the 
house approach. Julius Gregory, architect 
The most is made of 
the view, the living and 
dining rooms and two

owner’s sleeping porch. 
A balcony is run around 
the corner downstairs. 
The garage is below the 
living room
