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.

This month’s winner of the award for “Room of the Month"

 

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.

  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.
