imple little farmhouse has
been converted into a most attractive all-the-year-round home.

In the process of remodeling, the original house was left unchanged,
and additions were depended upon for development. A good-sized porch
with brick floor and high-backed settles at the side replaced the
unattractive, old-time entrance, while the dormers relieved the long,
monotonous roof-line and afforded light to the apartment constructed
from the formerly unfinished attic space. Just outside the original
parlor, beside the shed space, an addition has been built that runs
midway of the shed to the line of the chimney in the parlor, and without
a large covered veranda is added. To the kitchen ell an addition of
about four feet was made to provide space for a vestibule within the new
back door and also to secure extra space at one side of the room so that
a window might be inserted.

Due attention was paid to the rear, in the matter of windows, and here
were laid out the rooms which would be most frequently used. In
consequence of the rearrangement, the interior is practically wholly
changed. The shed was remodeled into a charming sewing-room that opens
at one side on to a veranda, and the new addition was combined with the
little bedroom and a small portion from the parlor to secure space for a
library. This made possible a doorway to the dining-room and
sewing-room, and a broad open space to the living-room.

The old-time parlor showed two deep closets beside the fireplace. One of
these was torn out, a window was inserted in the outer wall, and a seat
was built beneath it. The other was made into an opening into the
library. This arrangement secured additional light and at the same time
permitted a glimpse of the picturesque rear view.

In the dining-room several alterations were made, resulting in a
complete change in shape and size. Oblique walls replace the two rear
corners, one containing the doorway leading to the library, and the
other affording entrance and furnishing some space for the china closet
which was inserted between the dining-room and the kitchen. The single
window on the southeast was replaced by a semi-octagonal bow recess.
This was fitted with small lights of glass and affords space for the
grouping of many plants and incidentally adds a touch of distinct
picturesqueness.

The kitchen received its share of consideration during the process of
remodeling, resulting in the
