Living room in the residence of William Lawrence Bottomley, Esq., Brookville, LI.

 

Living room in the residence of William Lawrence Bottomley, Esq., Brookville, LI.

  The vivid greens and blues of the scenic wallpaper in this room call for strength and intensity in its color scheme in order to have its color values harmonize. Accordingly the curtains are a gay yellow chintz flowered in old pink, the furniture repeats the yellow note, and the Spanish rug done in squares with the signs of the zodiac, adds another touch of strong color and bold design.

A FARM GROUP IN THE ITALIAN MANNER - Arthur V. Davis - Mill Neck, NY

   Although situated at Mill Neck, Long Island, this picturesque little farm group on the estate of Arthur V. Davis, Esq., might well be somewhere in Italy. The warm biscuit-colored stucco walls with the red tiles of the roofs and the blue trim of doors and windows make a charmingly colorful picture to which the black and white reproductions of the camera do scant justice.

The potential beauties in wood that wait the seeing eye and skillful hand of the master could not well have a better exemplar than in the paneling of this room, and especially in the exquisitely simple yet wholly lovely overmantel.

Tudor magnificence tinctured with modern comfort achieved without impairing the verities in this noble room, the gallery in the William R. Coe residence at Oyster Bay, Long Island. Above the great Gothic fireplace, with a fire screen by Yellin, a rare tapestry spreads its color, while down the length of the gallery stretches a priceless thirty-three-foot Isfahan rug. The predominating color tone here is a warm red.

Samuel H. Gottscho, Photographer


 This month’s winner of the award for “Room of the month" is a hall of stately baronial type in the residence of Henry Siegbert, Esq., at Rye Lake, Purchase, N. Y.—a room of exquisite balance and proportion, furnished with a simplicity and restraint that give these qualities opportunity to assert their perfection. Taylor & Levi were the architects, and H. F. Dawson the decorator.



278 Old Lake St, West Harrison, NY 10604

  Limited information found on Siegbert and location of house. One reference had address at 278 Old Lake Street. Current house appears new. 270 Old Lake Street looks interesting.
