A House at Brookline , Massachusetts 
ing. The old trees 
which have been 
preserved by the 
careful placing of 
the house would 
provide excellent 
motifs for the de¬ 
sign of parterres 
and walks. 
The interior ar¬ 
rangement of the 
rooms on the first 
floor gives oppor¬ 
tunity for generous 
entertainment; and 
at the same time, 
it affords privacy 
and isolation to the 
individual mem¬ 
bers of a large fami¬ 
ly. The first floor 
is finished entirely 
in quartered oak ; 
and The Settle in 
the Hall , the light¬ 
ing fixtures and the 
THE SIDEBOARD 
stained glass have 
been designed by 
the architect. The 
furniture in The 
Dining Room is also 
of his design, as 
well as are all the 
more important 
mantels. The one 
in the delightful 
ingle nook of the 
music room has for 
its motif caryatides 
of Roman Pans 
blowing on their 
pipes, and its sim¬ 
ple treatment well 
accords with the 
quiet refined detail 
of the rest of the 
room, in fact one 
might say, the de¬ 
tail to be found 
throughout the 
whole interior of 
the house.
