Text Appearing Before Image:
Original plan of bedroom floor of Hopkins house the hot, stuffy bedrooms which we so often associate with picturesque old country homes. The interior woodwork seems to have been studied with particular care—one can hardly tell what is old and what is new. How many architects are willing to forego a mantel in one of the important rooms of a country house and to use instead the plain paneling, entirely without ornament, which we find in the sitting-room of the Hopkins home? The lighting fixtures also seem to have been chosen with unusual care, and are hardly too decorative for their surround- ings, since even the most primitive of early New England homes possessed lamps or candlesticks of a character surprisingly lux- urious. This house, after all that remodeling has done for it and after all that has been told to describe its shift into modernity, gives the impression that it still retains something of the spirit of its former self. The changes made have been serious, cosy, spacious, beautiful and radical enough, but one may yet feel for a moment that in a dawn or a twi- light gloom the old farmhouse is there; that a semblance of the brand of its old virtue is bound to linger a long time. Even some sound might again issue and be like an echo from its old halls, and none will be- grudge it these an- cestral hints. Plan of bedroom floor of remodeled Hopkins house
