House & Garden 
The Thomas house presents a delightful mass 
from the garden that is reached by steps descend¬ 
ing over an arched pool. .4 large rectangular tank 
forms the most important feature of the garden 
in the corner of which stands a conically roofed 
cote for peacocks, pheasants and doves. The 
path and driveway entrance, shown below, is 
cleverly contrived, with gates of hand hewn 
oak and piers of rough brick masonry 
In the Kohler house, shown at the left and 
above, as in the Thomas house adjoining, the walls 
are of brick laid in Flemish bond with wide fliish 
cut joints and with occasional sections built up 
of native ledgestone thickly parged with mortar 
so as to get a rough and interesting texture
