THE SALON 
MRS. GAMBRILL’s HOUSE 
with gilt ornaments. 
The living-room is 
likewise painted its en¬ 
tire height; but the 
color of this room is 
that of the almost nat¬ 
urally finished French 
walnut here used. The 
carved ornaments are 
of a subdued gold, and 
the mantel is cut from 
Breche - doree marble 
which gives a delicate 
gradation of color to 
that of the walnut. The 
woodwork of the 
library is of an ex¬ 
tremely light green 
color with ornaments 
tinted slightly darker, 
beginning a range of 
shades the other end of 
which is supplied by a 
mantel of Connemara 
marble. All the inter¬ 
ior fittings of the house 
PLAN OF THE HOUSE AND GARDENS 
were made from special 
designs in the work¬ 
shops of Paris. These 
include the metal orna¬ 
ments applied to the 
wood and stone work, 
all the hardware and 
the lighting fixtures. 
Even the paint, which 
gives the peculiar green 
to the trellises and 
other outside wood¬ 
work was bought in 
Paris after all attempts 
to get it in this country 
had failed. The furni¬ 
ture also, now in place 
in the house, has with 
few exceptions been 
selected by the owner 
abroad. 
The material of the 
house and stable and 
the masonry in con¬ 
nection with them is 
brick covered with a
