The Fireplace of the Suburban House
to realise the effect of the
colour of this fireplace
from a black and white re-
production. The general
warmth of the tone is
relieved by cool broad
surfaces of white stone,
which give a solid con-
structional appearance.
The central keystone of
dull red stone carries the
shelf, on which is placed a
copper repousse tray.
A few words may here
be added in description of
the remaining sketches and
photographs of fireplaces
which form the illustra-
tions to this article.
