92 AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS March, 1908
Text Appearing After Image:
The English Half-timber Style Was Chosen for the House esque country home is located in the beautiful residence park of the Braeburn Association at Nyack, N. Y. The natural beauties of the place have been enhanced by the clever dis- position of roads and shrubbery, so arranged as to take ad- vantage of the natural contour of the ground and to afford the best sites for residences. The landscape work was done by Charles W. Leavitt, Jr., and great credit is due him for the good taste and restraint with which his work has been accomplished. The landscape setting was thor- oughly studied and most of the work done before the building of houses was commenced. Mr. Rossiter's house was the first one built on this property, and formed the keynote, as it were, for the style of future houses, which have been designed with the idea of producing eventually a perfectly harmonious group. This idea has been rigidly adhered to, and the result is not only beautiful, but is unique. The aver- age country colony contains cottages of every conceivable style and shape, having no relation to each other, and in- evitably producing discord. The English half-timbered style has been selected for this house and for others which have been built here. It is a thor- oughly artistic and picturesque style, and lends itself particu- larly well to a house which is planned in a rambling, drawn- out fashion, the logical method where there is plenty of room.
