There is both simplicity 
and dignity in the hall — 
the simplicity of line and 
the dignity of color. The 
floor is red quarry tiles 
laid in white cement. 
The woodwork is gum- 
wood laid out in panels 
and painted ivory. A 
rich color note is found 
in portieres and valance 
The hall paneling has 
been repeated in the din¬ 
ing room, thus affording 
an opportunity for the 
hangings to be given full 
value as a decoration. 
This paneling also lends 
an air of permanency to 
the room which cannot 
be had by the use of any 
other sort of covering 
The fireplace in the master's room is a copy of 
an old mantel found in a cottage near New 
York. The panel decoration is painted directly 
on the plaster; the draping and hangings con¬ 
form to its colors. Fireplace bricks are black. 
Mr. Marsh, a well known mural painter, has 
executed the decorations
