Because the house is narrow, run¬ 
ning along a natural ridge, its 
garden side, terrace and forecourt 
give it the appearance of great 
size. This narrow shape provides- 
rooms with cross drafts, so desir¬ 
able in the Virginia summers. 
The balanced design finds the ser¬ 
vice in one wing and a large liv¬ 
ing porch in the other. Charles

/Is the place is largely a summer 
home, the terrace and porch are 
designed for outdoor living. The 
brick of the walls is used for the 
terrace pavement. The heavy 
slate house roof, purple and green 
in color, is repeated on the living 
porch. Copper rain pipes lend 
their air of permanence. The 
terrace commands a view of some 
thirty miles
