House & Garden 
A bow window over the entrance is 
a device Mr. Embury is successfully 
using. Its first appearance was in a 
house he designed for House & 
Garden in July, 1917. The combina¬ 
tion of window, door and lanterns 
makes a handsome entrance 
Balance is given the fireplace side of 
the dining room by repeating in the 
arched window the design of the 
china closet. The walls are paneled 
and painted white, affording a dig¬ 
nified background for the simple old 
furniture

The home of Mrs. F. Franklin Wardwell, at Shippan Point, Ct., is an 
admirable example of Colonial design applied to a country house. It is a 
combination of shingle and clapboard painted white. The brick chimneys 
are also white with dark caps. Pierced white shutters, an occasional arch¬ 
top window and the decorative swags in flat panels and the bow window 
over the door give this facade decorative variety
