Architect and engineer . of design in itself also has an individu-ality and beauty that evidences careful study and consistent execution. Rough plasterwalls are brought into contrast with a few well placed iron grills, picked out in color. Inside, the circular entrance hall with its winding staircase, niches and decoratedceiling is beautifully conceived and admirably executed. The large living room, the upperstair hall and a number of other rooms have each been designed with a boldness and lifethat is invigorating, the effect being tremendously heightened by the diaper patterns andstenciled designs on the rough plaster finish and then cleverly touched out and softened togive the mellowness generally only produced by age. The jury believes that the success with whicli both house and garden have beenhandled reflects unusual credit, not only on the individual designer, but also on the wholeprofession as well, and is a remarkable effort in a style particularly adapted to thissection. 54 THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER.
