The architect, Richard H. Dana, Jr., selected a charming site for the house he should build for himself, and no less charming than the site is the house itself. The floor plans contain some interesting and quite unusual details, which should make this house a truly ideal one for the family who desires to live as comfortably and with as few responsibilities as possible

In planning his ideal house, to be built on two levels, Mr. Dana placed the main rooms on the second floor, for better views and air, and the service rooms on the first floor for convenience, eliminating both attic and cellar. The windows are few but enormous; the garage is conveniently a part of the house; the music room is isolated in the wing over the servants quarters; and the bedrooms are in a separate wing by themselves, to insure privacy and quiet.
