THE NEW YORK HOME of WM. 
LAWRENCE BOTTOMLEY 
A brick wall of ingenious and interesting design 
forms one side of the court which separates the 
main portion of the house from the studio and 
the kitchen above it. The plan of this unusually 
designed house consists of two parts: the house 
proper and the two-story studio and kitchen, at 
the back of the lot, the two parts connected by 
a passageway. The first floor level of the passage 
connecting entrance hall and studio; the second 
floor level connecting dining room and kitchen 
The studio entrance, seen across the court from 
one of the library doors. Above the studio door 
is the terrace outside the kitchen windows. This 
illustration conveys the best picturization of the 
unusual plan of this house, which suggests a solu¬

who wants to combine his home and office on one 
city lot. The lot on which this house is built 
moreover, is only 18' wide and 100' deep. Wm. 
Lawrence Bottomley, the owner, was the architect
