THE employment of cobblestones with stuccoed over brick forms a very picturesque setting for a home, which is evidenced by the residence of Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Harrison, 1556 100th Place.
One of the views pictured above shows the house facing 100th Place, with its pergola of roses, while the other shows a rear view, with the steps down to the yard.
A large vestibule leads to the reception hall. The reception room is directly off the reception hall and adjoins the dining room, which is at the east end of the house.
The living room is large and attractive, with its wide open fireplace facing the street and a large open fireplace constructed of the cobblestones, which makes it extremely cheerful during a cool evening. The large double door between the dining and living rooms gives them the appearance of being one room. Windows on the east and south insure plenty of light at all times during the day. All of the trimming throughout the house is walnut, and the dining room is paneled of the same wood.
Back of the dining room is the kitchen, which has a tiled floor and walls and which also has the entrance to the basement stairway.
A hallway leads to the large breakfast room, which can be seen in the picture showing the rear of the house. The breakfast room adjoins the back porch. It is unusually large and is a cool and restful place to eat during the summer months.
A large bedroom is back of the living room and the bathroom is between that room and a smaller bedroom.
Directly across the reception hall from the living room is a library or den, which also faces on 100th Place.
The basement is full size, with the usual equipment. It has a coal cellar, furnace room and a sand pit.
