Beautiful Morgan Park Home
THE attractive, seven-room, yellow pressed brick residence of C. B. Coffeen, 2012 W. 110th Street, is one of the latest additions to the Morgan Park community. The House has an unusually pretty setting, with its background of large trees and sloping lawns. Red tile is used for the roof and the wood trim is white.
The entrance, a small porch with arches on the south and east, is on the southeast side and admits to a small reception hall. From here the bungalow-like arrangement of the first floor is apparent. The reception hall opens to the large living room on the south, the dining room on the northeast, and to an interior hall, extending north and south. From this there is access to a bedroom suite of two rooms and bath on the west side. The kitchen is found on the north, occupying a central position. The upper floor contains two bedrooms and a bath.
The living room has three exposures— on the east, south and west. Five large windows are set in a wide, shallow bay on the south side; there are three more on the east, and on the west there are two small windows high up above the built-in bookshelves on each side of a large fireplace. The wood trim is dark oak and the fixtures here are polychromed silver, the wall type.
The dining room is done in blue and gray, also with dark oak trim, and has a large central light fixture of polychromed gold. The walls are paneled in a tapestry effect. There are windows on the east and another on the south, opening to the entrance porch. A swing door admits to the kitchen, which is completely equipped with electric refrigeration and an incinerator, as well as the usual built-in cabinet arrangements. There is a handy little cupboard pantry just off the dining room.
The suite of two bedrooms and the bath occupy the west side of this floor, with the bath between them. Entrance to the larger room is from the reception hall, and the dining room and kitchen both open to the rear hall, which separates them from the other sections of this floor.
