House & Garden 
Inside the woodwork is white, the hall being typi¬ 
cal oj the finish. A mahogany hand rail is used 
above white balusters. A lantern is suspended 
from the second story ceiling into the stair well. 
All radiators are concealed 
An irregular arrangement oj rooms adds to the 
interest and livableness of the house. One side of 
the living room is opened by casements above a 
■window seat. The fireplace is in the corner. Til¬ 
ing is carried throughout the service quarters. 
Upstairs are three chambers, dressing room, two 
baths, plenty of closets, and the servants’ rooms 
in a separate wing 
Stucco over hollow tile, half-timber and stone have been combined in 
the construction of this house at Elmsjord, New York, the home of 
Herman Younker. The stone foundation creeps up the wall and masses 
solidly in the chimney stack. Stone is also used for the terrace. On 
the side shown here, which is the rear, can be noted the end of the dining 
room and the large chamber above it with open windows. The range of 
casements downstairs is in the living room. Buchman & Kahn, architects
