The H ome of 
JAMES P. CAHILL 
Greenwich, Ct. 
Prank P.Whiting 
Architect 
The home of James P. Ca¬ 
hill rises from the rocky 
summit of a small island off 
the Connecticut shore and 
is built of the same seam¬ 
faced granite that was quar¬ 
ried from the site to make 
the excavation for the cellar 
One of the most inter¬ 
esting details of the 
construction of the 
house disclosed by the 
plans is the massive 
thickness of the stojie 
walls, a thing rarely 
encountered nowadays. 
All the shoreward 
rooms stress the im¬ 
portance of the view 
over the Sound
