Above is shown the direct view of the principal bay and entrance from the garden. The walls are tinted a fresh pale blue-gray—trim and cast iron railings are in pure white. Striking in simplicity, the building is an original combination of the classical and modern styles.
Below, the furniture plan of the beige living room. Furniture by George Stacey. In the plan of the room, dining and lounging spaces have been successfully arranged for. A charming vista of the garden is seen through the doorway.

THE drawings above show the unusual floor plans. The main rooms give immediate access to the water side. The isolated master bedroom, having the visibility of a lighthouse and roof terraces for sun bathing is of particular interest. The children's and service quarters are as far as possible separate entities. The site is the H. P. Davison estate, facing on the one side Mrs. Davison's beautiful garden to which approach was given on axis of the entrance, and on the opposite side Long Island Sound. The house takes full advantage of the splendid setting in its wide view of open water.
