 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.

      Henry Siegbert, Lake St., White Plains, N. Y., a recent lieutenant commander in the Navy and former member of the U. S. Naval Aviation Service in World War I claims White Plains as his place of residence and New York City as his place of business. Heinie attended Gunnery School, Washington, Conn., before going to Dartmouth, and made investment and banking his business career after school.

The Room of the Month JOHN RUSSELL POPE Architect

The great stair hall in the Marshall Field house carries on the tradition of the magnificent Georgian houses of England. The walls of the two story well in which the stairs are set were painted by Abram Poole. The finish is a very dark brown, and it is impossible to bring out the details a photograph.

At the top is an arcade with mural paintings of ladies and gentlemen of the eighteenth century looking out on the scene. Below is the effect of rusticated masonry. Mr. Poole has done a splendid piece of work and deserves great praise.
