A high oak wainscot finishes the walls in the 
library, giving that room a dignity befitting 
its purpose. Quaint old candle sconces are set 
in the panels on either side of a carved mirror 
and make, together with the table, a pleasing 
and unified group 
The stairs are set partly in the brick tower. 
Here the beams are left open, giving a sense 
of space required by the broad landing and 
the large window. Turned balusters and 
simply carved newel are in keeping with the 
style of the house 
The walls of the dining room are rough, 
tinted plaster, which forms a sturdy back¬ 
ground for the antique sideboard with its 
range of candlesticks, the brass sconces, old 
paintings and cottage chairs. A beamed ceil¬ 
ing helps maintain the cottage atmosphere 
A fireplace of brick and tile set in a deep 
hearth is on one side of the library. The 
paneling fills the chimney breast. A bay win¬ 
dow with leaded casements affords space for 
a desk, a pleasant little corner for reading 
and correspondence
