January, 1918 
The living room 
fireplace, a feature 
of the house, is 
faced with lime¬ 
stone and lined 
with red, rough 
handmade tiles. 
The dog grate is 
an old English 
model. An un¬ 
usual treatment is 
found in the 
niches with their 
old sconces, and in 
the ceiling beam 
with its support¬ 
ing bracket spring¬ 
ing from the key¬ 
stone of the fire¬ 
place. The doors 
are sand - blasted 
oak with heavy 
strap hinges and 
leaded glass lights 
In the dining room 
the simplicity of 
the wall treatment 
enhances the 
beauty and inter¬ 
est of the window 
and door open¬ 
ings. These doors 
let out on the ter¬ 
race of the rose 
garden. To one 
side of the room 
is a large stone 
fireplace with an- 
t i q u e Welsh 
wrought iron fix¬ 
tures. The furni¬ 
ture was especially 
designed for the 
room and the 
hangings chosen to 
harmonize with its 
period. Katherine
