At theembrasured windows five-part paneled shutters foldinto side pockets in such a way that they carry up-ward the panel effect of the wainscot below. The dining room, at the left of the front door,reflects the parlor, but is simpler in treatment,especially the mantel. On the floors above, large,nearly square rooms open off the hall at each they are notable chiefly for theirsimple, well-proportioned mantels and modest, fine-scale cornices. The ell includes a large kitchen andlaundry, with servants rooms above. [116]. oX C A o o U << CU y.
