The drawing room is formally treated, in both its 
architecture and its decoration. The paneling is 
gray-green, and the furniture well chosen for this 
type of room. The drawing room occupies the 
entire width of the house on the second floor, 
and is separated from the dining room by the 
stair foyer. The kitchen, which is also on the 
second floor, is at the back of the lot, separated 
from the front portion of the house by a brick 
court and reached by a passageway along one side 
An unusual device in the drawing room is the 
location of the fireplace at the extreme right of 
one of the long walls. This accomplishes two 
things which help make up for sacrificed symme¬ 
try. It provides a long unbroken wall space for a 
large piece of furniture or a grand piano, and 
adds a sense of intimacy to the fireside. The well 
related scale of the moldings, and use of the 
small hob-grate make this an unusually interest¬ 
ing and very delightful study in fireplace design
