{Left) The south front faces a terrace 
that leads down by low, easy steps to a 
tree-shaded lawn and pool. The doors 
of the open sitting room are accented 
with an interesting example of early 
American iron work. French windows 
give access to this terrace 
{Above) The house is a simple adapta¬ 
tion of early American architecture, exe¬ 
cuted in yellowish stucco with marble 
trimmings and grayish green blinds. 
This is the north entrance front. The 
service wing to the right forms one side 
of the arrival court 
{Below) In the corner of the forecourt 
is a bit of a garden gate of oak with 
wide hand-forged strap hinges. Here 
the top line of the wall curves down and 
the enclosure is continued by a tall 
-wooden picket fence that opens delight- 
fully on the woods 
{Below) Classical simplicity character¬ 
izes the doorway detail of the garden 
wall. It is a stucco wall on a stone 
foundation. Wrought iron rails lend 
color to the steps. The combination of 
these elements forms a composition of 
rare dignity
