HE HOUSE OF MR. GEORGE B.
POST AT BERNARDSVILLE, N. J.
BY SAMUEL HOWE

Even from a distance the house of
Mr. George B. Post, at Bernardsville, has many
advantages from its association with the adjoin-
ing hills and native woods as well as on its own
account. Perhaps to many, the more satisfactory
and entertaining glimpse is the intimate picture
we get of it from the informal court at the lower
level where we realize the thoughtful manner in
which the right kind of trees have been selected
to play up to the house, adding to its serious out-
line the richness of their texture and colour.
The view from the valley has many other qual-
ities. Approaching across the wide meadow
which during the greater part of the year is
powdered with small flowers, we pass into the
romantic centre of things that illustrates agree-
ably the general scheme and gives so excellent an
idea of the southern frontage of the house with
its Tudor affiliation.
