In designing his home at Elmsford, N. Y., 
Mr. Kahn made a delightful use of stone 
as a relief to the orange stucco and silver 
gray exposed chestnut beams

The house is quite small. It grows nat¬ 
urally out of its hillside plot, the stone, 
stucco and half-timber and the shingle 
roof blending with the trees and outcrop¬ 
ping stone 
One end of the living room is a large fireplace, 18' long and 10' A "p, 
with settles inside. Off the living room is the entrance hall. There is 
an ample kitchen. The dining room faces the view 
The house was built for the children. They have a nursery in addition 
to their bedroom. .This leaves space for the master’s chamber and 
dressing room, a guest room, closets and two baths
