House & Garden 
warn 
Gillies 
The house is an extended balanced structure of 
the classic Colonial type executed in brick. The 
unngs flank a “ pediment-and-portico” entrance, 
ending at one side in a broad enclosed porch, 
and on the other in service quarters 
.*• 
Variety is given the south terrace side of the 
house by indented units with wide overhanging 
eaves and an indented arched door. Interesting 
shadow play results. The house is painted 
straw color with green blinds and white trim 
From the house on this side the lawn stretches 
down to the gardens and thence to the Sound. 
This view of the entrance is taken from the 
garden. A judicious use of wrought iron bal¬ 
conies lends color to the portico facade 
A decorative window group is found at one end 
—a stairs arched window flanked by small win¬ 
dows. Below is a one-story passage with an 
entrance porch leading to the south terrace 
shown opposite. The roof lines are unusual
