In front lies an Italian garden with a digni¬ 
fied balustrade capping the rubble wall and 
accented by heavy cement flower jars. 
Steps lead down to the lawn from the cross 
axis of the garden 
The service yard is surrounded by a high 
wall over which vines are gradually creep¬ 
ing. An insert of majolica gives a peep 
hole. The old gate is formidable with 
strap hinges 
Both the door and the ornaments surround¬ 
ing it were brought from Italy and intro¬ 
duced into this villa, giving it a picturesque 
individuality. An arched living porch is on 
the second floor 
The house is really quite small, but every 
corner of it affords a fascinating glimpse. 
.4 garage connects with the service yard 
and the kitchen. The house top silhouette 
is fascinating
