Another interpretation of the Colonial style is found in the residence of 
George C. Haas, at Mt. Kisco, N. Y. Walls and roof are shingle, the walls 
and chimneys being painted white. Among the interesting features of this 
facade is the entrance portico extending from an angle in the wall. The 
roof lines of the house and the placing of the chimneys give it an admirable 
air of permanence 
The entrance portico deserves espe¬ 
cial study because of its fine detail, 
one of the admirable characteristics 
of Mr. Embury’s work. The ceiling 
is paneled, there is a successfid 
balance and play of light and shade 
in this design 
Wide moldings have transformed the 
plaster walls of the dining room into 
large panels. These, in turn, painted 
white, are harmonious with the 
beamed ceiling and the cottage fur¬ 
niture. The decoration over the 
mantel attests the owner’s proclivities
