The house stands back from the road with a broad field before it. 
It is a rambling structure of age-browned shingles. Out buildings 
and woodsheds connect it with the barn, a method of grouping 
peculiar to New England farm architecture. It is Mr. Ruyl’s summer 
home at Hingham, Massachusetts 
The greater part of one side of the dining room is taken up with 
a large fireplace equipped with baking oven, cranes and pots and 
iron firedogs. Antique splot back chairs fit in perfectly with the 
Colonial scheme. A rag mat has been used for a rug—an har¬ 
monious foundation for such a room
