The architecture 
is an adaptation 
of Colonial farm- 
house designs 
dignified and 
modernized by a 
balcony over the 
entrance with a 
wrought iron 
balustrade. The 
long, low lines of 
the porch are in 
harmony with 
the general de¬ 
sign of the house 
and invite sum¬ 
mer outdoor liv¬ 
ing 
Upstairs the 
rooms are so dis¬ 
posed as to af¬ 
ford light and 
cross ventilation 
for all. The own¬ 
er’s suite con- 
t ai ns bedroom, 
boudoir and 
bath. A guest 
suite occupies 
the remainder of 
the front of the 
house, with 
maid’s room and 
another guest 
chamber behind 
THE RESIDENCE or 
ROBERT HASKINS, 
Esq. 
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
W. DUNCAN LEE, Architect 
The house is 
built around a 
terrace set be¬ 
tween the ell of 
the service quar¬ 
ters and the sun 
room. A house- 
depth hall di¬ 
vides the down¬ 
stairs rooms, 
giving a large 
living room, 
which is further 
enlarged by a 
porch. Dining 
room, kitchen 
and pantry are 
on the other side, 
running back in¬ 
to the ell 
A n interesting 
study in roof 
lines is presented 
by the rear ele¬ 
vation. Although 
they are broken, 
all are harmoni¬ 
ous to one pitch. 
The irregular 
fenestration and 
the use of lattice 
and window 
boxes give this 
intimate side of 
the house a 
charm that will 
be made com¬ 
plete when the 
garden is fully 
developed
