House & Garden 
Dutch gables add to this front a pleas¬ 
ant air of domesticity, while the ter¬ 
races provide a dignified setting which 
escapes any sense of grandeur 
Although designed as a memorial 
of the Peace Conferences held at 
this house, the decoration over 
the door seems a little militaristic 
The stonework of the steps lead¬ 
ing up from the lower terrace 
agreeably relates the garden to 
the brick and stone of the house
