Text Appearing Before Image:
June, 1909 AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 22.
Text Appearing After Image:
The interesting feature of the hall is its groined ceiling The panels of the dining-room walls are filled in with leather with a brown design on a green background a drying-yard for the clothes. The driveway, which comes in from the main highway, passes into this service court with- out passing the front door. This is also a good feature, foi- it prevents, in every possible way, the necessity of the service wagons coming closer to the living part of the house. The site In which the house rests Is a knoll, with a high way extending around three sides of It, and, on account ol Its prominence, and Its topography. It was found feasible to build a garden, with a series of terraces extending down from the living-porch at the rear of the house. The central walk from the porch leads down to a pool, which Is well stocked with gold and other fish, and flowering water lilies, The walk to the pool Is edged with dwarf pines and othej" hardy shrubs. A privet hedge surrounds the entire estate. Much planting of perennials has been done about the grounds, and the grouping of the various shrubs Is most artistic and effective. Messrs. Rosslter and Wright, of New York, were the architects of this Interesting house, and they have given a very careful study of the Interior arrangement of the various rooms, the relation of each, the proper plac- ing of each room for light and ventilation, and the proper exposure for sunshine and breeze, which is an important point that should receive proper consideration in the building of a sanitary home.
