To the old farmhouse the owner added a wing. Other¬ 
wise it is as it was at the beginning. The walls are 
field stone, with a roof of dark gray. The deep porch 
and galleries are characteristic of Southern architecture 
BOXWOOD ”, the RESIDENCE 
of MRS. ANNE WARD SAGE 
At Middleburg, Piedmont Valley, 
Virginia 
The furnishings of the 
house are consistent with 
the exterior. Here in the 
bedroom, for example, are 
cream colored walls, hand- 
blocked chintz curtains, 
hooked rugs, an old four- 
poster with valance and 
tester and a lovely old silk 
patchwork quilt 
On the dining room walls 
is a quaint gold and green 
paper with a design of 
urns. The rug is green 
and the furniture, which is 
painted mahogany color, 
has simple gold decora¬ 
tions. Old brass candle¬ 
sticks and green tole vases 
on the mantel complete the 
Colonial scheme
