The living-room place is the dominant feature of this apartment, its mantel topped with a broad-paneled backing showing an edge of dainty finish. Opposite the entrance, French doors, flanked by quaint side lights, give upon a brick-paved terrace which arrangement completes a series of broad, air-giving spaces, commencing with the entrance to the hall, and continuing opposite the ter- race approach. Soft blue walls above a high paneled white wainscot, and white trim, afford an ap- propriate setting for the fine mahog- any equipment. The living-room at the left of the hall, is the dwell- ing's largest apart- ment, extending the entire depth of the width. Tan and white are the color- ings employed in its finish, and the cheerful impression this harmonious combination creates is enhanced by the numerous windows that light the room on three sides. A large brick fireplace graces the central portion of the outer wall at one side, and to the left broad glass doors open on to the living-porch. Opposite the living-room entrance is the den, a cosy, convenient apartment, showing a most attractive finish. On the second floor there are four chambers, equipped with ample closet space and two bathrooms. On the third floor, with the dining-room entrance, both of which are nearly there are two servants' rooms, bathroom and storage space.
