Occupying a prominent position on the hill, it stands out againstthe sky with artistic-effect, its lines clear. its sha well defined. while the deep red ‘of the basement. the dark olive of t _e first story.,the lighter red of the second, and the soft shade of the roof and gables blend in the clear atmosphere into a harmonious effect of light and shade. “ An easy rise of several steps lead to the platform before the stained oak doors of the front entrance. The vestibule doors, also of the same material, with leaded antique stained cathedral glass in floral design, open into the main hall—a space nearly square, of ample di- mensions, and lighted by a beautiful south window of late and stained lass. which rises from the staircase landing to t e ceiling.

We ....,._,.,.....,-Mw»~.~v‘fi‘ , “ARTISTIC HOMES OF CALIFORNIA.” The ninth artot of the series, which appears with this num- ber of the News JETTER. is the residence of Mr. S. G. Murphy, on the southeast Corner of Bush and Jones streets. It belongs to the picturesque order of architecture, and is a good example of the mods ., ernized Colonial style; the interior. also, in arrangement, finishing and furniture being throughout harmonious with the distinctive fea- _ tures of that period. The front entrance on Bush street is reached » through the gabled porch which leads to the massive doors of the vestibule; the floor of which is inlaid with oak and walnut. The vesti- bule doors of parieledredwood, with beveled squares of plate glass in the upper sash, open directly'in the square entrance-hall, floored ; in oak and Walnut, the walls of deep terra cotta‘ in oil, with a deep frieze in water colors, extending one-thirdlfrom 'the ceiling, which is frescoed withflowers. An exquisite piece of spindle work and arch, after Moorish design. executed in Port Orford. or white cedar, sepa- rates the front hall ‘from the back, and screens the staircase from view. At the right of the entrance hall is the reception room, 15x22 feet, finished in redwood and maho any, with tire-place set in tiles, and mantel of mahogany and large p ate mirror. A square bay win- dow cutsvofi‘ the northwest corner of the reom. Beyond the recep- tion r00m is the drawing-room or library, 15x22 feet also finished in .l mahogany and redwood, with beautiful west window. Both of these rooms are tinted in the cool, French gray on the walls, each having .3 a deep frieze one-third of the hight of wall, in color a soft blue, with red hollyhocks in water colors in the parlor. and white ones in the drawing-room; the flowers clustering near the corners of the frieze. “ while birds on airy wing skim the s ace between. The effect is very beautiful. The ceilings are frescoe with flowers. ' ' Beyond the drawing-room is the dining'room. also 15x22 feet. with H floor of oak and walnut, the dado formed of high. paralleled wain- scoting of white cedar Wood-work; ‘Above' this is a wide space of mahogany red in oil, and then the frieze of water-lilies and storks.‘ In this room all the furniture is in anti ue English oak. It displays a genuine colonial fireplace of ressed ricks, with elaborate mantel. of old English oak. containing ouble shelves, cabinets, and set with plate-glass mirrors in diamond shapes, and round. A square bay- 'window cuts off the southwest corner .of the dining-room, while on the east side of both drawing-room and dining-room doors give into the back hall, which also leads to the pantry at the left ofthe dining- , room, and through'the pantry is reached the basement, where the kitchen,‘laundrv, store-rooms and servants’ quarters are situated. Throughout this first floor the windows, with their large squares of late-glass and elegant han 'ngs, their leaded, o aque, cathedral- ike antique glass, of rich co ors in kaleidoscopic esxgn. disperse a " soft, mellow 11 ht, and when sliding doors are pushed ack, and the whole floor is't rown 0 en into one varied and extensive apartment, the effect is very beauti‘ ul. ' , ' - The staircase, of white cedar in colonial style, mounts to the second story, which has a fine hall running North and South, from front to back of the building. The arrangement of this second story is in ac- cordance with the New York plan; called the “ saloon floor ” or “ saloon plan,” and is a new feature, in San Francisco architecture. By it two bedrooms may be thrown ‘into one, or remain separate chambers. By this means the second floor may also be converted into an open space. 011' each bed room is an alcove. These alcoves join or face each other, and are connected or separated, by sliding“ doors. Between the arch for ’the alcOve and the slidin ' door is a . closet lined with white cedar as a protection against mot 3. 0n the a other side is a set of drawers and a large, oval, bowl basin, with high marble. . Port Orford cedar is the whod for the finishings of this floor. Each chamber and the hall has appropriate frescoes and or- namental frieze. The bathroom, also, is on the second floor. The- tub is of porcelain two inches thick. The water is sup lied from be- low, and noiselessly fills the tub, which em ties itsel in the same‘ 3‘ manner. The third floor, finished in re wood. contains several ' chambers, notably one fine,,large guest chamber, from which, as in- deed from nearly all the rooms in the house, may be obtained a com— prehensive view of the city. The residence is sup lied with electric service throughout, the ven- § tilation is. perfect, the alls are furnace-heated, and while there are , eighteen rooms, the arrangement shows, a remarkable and effective . utilizationof space. Not an inch has been wasted, nor could the. most captions critic pick out the faintest flaw or "suggest the slightest: improvement. The architects were 8. and J. C. Newsom.

STONE, 2818 Howard St, S. {.2 x r x “ARTISTIC HOMES OF CALIFORNIA." —No. 31.— _ - RESIDENCE or Ms. FRANK M. STONE, SAN FRANCISCO. To Mr. Stone, the lawyer, and partner of the late ex—SenatOr A. ‘L A. Sargent, belongs one of the most artistic residences ortrayed by- , the artotype series; not only by the merit of itsoutwar a pearance, but-also by the grace and beauty of its interior, is it entit ed to this distinction. The ideas of its owner .have been faithfully carried out, stamping the residence with an individuality all its own. A frescoed vestibule orch, bearing the initials F. M. S. in monogram, extends be- fore the ' ouble entrance doors, which are of solid mahogany, three inches thiCk, paneled, with the upper portidn in jeweled, antique cathedral stained glass, the lights over the door being of the same, ‘ Throughout the house there is noticeable a rest protusion of art- istic glass-work. Upon the entrance ,doors, t e hinges, knobs and escutcheons are of oxydized 'silver. Admittance is at once gained to the hall, square in dimensions, with two large panes of glass at right angles to each other formin its southwest corner. Oak is the wood used in the finishing. The fioor is inlaid with black walnut and ma- ho any, the combination being effectively wrou ht out in a border an central design. .The ceiling is of Port Orfor cedar. transversed by unbroken lengths of dee redwood moldings. The Wainscoting is a high paneled dado, the cal: relieved by para lelograms of ash buhl, thefibust of Mr. Stone’s father stands in the corner near the windows. The side-walls are papered in the latest style-.l- The hall fire-place, set‘ in glazed brick, with its massive mantel of carved oak, comprises over three hundred ieces. Its hooded top is su ported upon five short columns. At t e back of the portico thus ormed are four panels of. hammered brass, representin scenes in the departure and return of" a Crusader. A pair of gas rackets startvfrom each end of this unique chimney-piece. On the right of the hall and o posite thefireplace. is the solid oaken staircase, guarded b two nvewe posts bearing globes of light. In its flight to the second oor it makes two turns and is bro en by two landings. Upon the upper one stands a veritable “ old clock on the stair.” this having been In the Stone family for several generations. From this landing rises the tall, stained glass window upon whose bright-hued surface wanders the 'storied Marguerite." Opening from the‘lower hall beyond the fireplace, on the left. is the drawing-room, finished in gold with elegant mantel of cocobola, the fireplace in gold and bnonze tiling and redwood finishin . The frescoing Is an expres— sion of a sunburst, whose golden rays diverge from the round window at the base of tower, spreading across the ceiling, while into their full glory flies a bright-hued peacock-plumaged bird, the legendary wahoo of the J apanese, which ever seeks the rising sun. .At the lower end of the ha 1 is the dining room, finished in oak—Similarly to the hall— the ceiling the same, only that the redwood. moldings cross each oth~ er at right angles, squares being the result. Between the dining-room and the kitchen, at the north, is a lass closet. Beyond the kitchen, which has every convenience. are t e antry and back entrance. Be- low are the laundry and a cellar, divi ed into two. arts. A deor to the left of the dining-room opens from the front ha 1 to the back hall, which also communicates with the parlor and the dining-room. These doors are all .of solid redwood, very thick, the 11 per «portion ornamented with an art-glass panel. Here are also e lavatory, side entrance and back stairs. ’ In the second story the hall is near] square. Into it open the three sleeping apartments. These are finis ed in redwood, with the excep- tion of the mantels, which are different. The principal chamber has one of rich antique mahogany, the second one of torwood, and the third, which looks out upon the loggia in frent, has one of prime vera. The frescoing is chaste and artistic, and the papering in excellent taste. The back hall is shut off from the front. t leads to the ser- vants’ apartment, the linen closet, and the bath-room, containing a‘ . very pretty Window, the subject an appropriate one—Cupids taking a dip. Encased from view are the stairs leading to the attic. which ex- tends over the whole house. One portion of it is devoted toga studio, for which has been secured the coveted north light. iTher'e'is also a little round room in the tower. The prospect comprehends Mount. ‘T Tamalpias, the greater portion of the city, the bay and-the chest ‘ range. .,.._, , . ,’ __¢,_ . _ .I . ‘ BERKELEY LIBRARY UNlVERSITY or CALIFORNIA j With 3. F.

U on the northwest corner of Sixteenth and Filbert streets, Oak- lan . stands the beautiful residence of Mr. S..T. Alexander, the capi- . talist. From whatever standpoint it is viewed, the front (the Filbert street side), or even the rear are all equally pictureSque. Since its erection, not five years ago, it has served as a model for many an- other residence, both in Oakland and San Francisco. Surrounded by well-kept grounds, it is a notable instance of the Queen Anne style, each succeeding floor being more spacious than the one it is” built upon, for. owing to the characteristic feature of this order of architecture, the story above overhangs the one beneath. From Six- teenth street a high, wide flight of steps, broken by a broad. landing. rises to the COVered frent porteh on the “south side of the house. The vestibule is paved in colored tiles. The double doors, heavily panel- ed, and With long glass sashes, open-into the..e_ntrance hall, which , leads to the square stair hall. the point of meeting being 'spanned b ' an arch of Oregan maple, of which wood the doors are made. the cei - ing trans'versed by deep moldings; and the-high "dado inlhalls and , ;'_ staircase formed by cress‘ bars ofthe same? In the squares and pan- : Nels thus included. is' dark lincrusta, in color' and effect, pressed q, leather. The sidewalls and the ceiling are tip‘ted in very 1i ht green-.:,_ The flooris of ash. The staircase upon the West‘side o the hall ‘4? %. makes five turns. with four landings. ' T-he newel post is suggestive ‘ of a classic urn in shape. ~ There is a broad seat across thefirst lands ing. A large, stained-glass window. in three divisions, each growing ‘ less in length with the ascent ofthe stains, sheds. its melowed light over the two balls. The, hall fire lace is set in' pressed brick, orna- mented with tiles. The-three si es of the firep wrought metal. the backbearing‘ a large human face. rayed in a sun- burst. ‘which glows with weird effect in the flames. The mantel itself 3 is of Oregan maple: Above the large square mirror is. a high shelf, which, surmounted by a facade,- rests upon supports terminating in Ionic capitals. ~ ‘ ' ‘ j . - . . . ; On the left of the entrance hall is the reception ”room. '-Beyond it, in the left of main hall, rises the staircaée; beyond that a door opens into the back hall. On the south side of the square main hall is-the entrance to the front parlor, or drawing-room. ,H-ere are a curved south bay window, a tall walnut mantel‘ rising. above the tiled fire- place on the west. a small round v‘vin'dow in the base of the tower on the east, and on the ‘north the Wide rolling doors.,beyond which stretches the back parlor or sitting-room. also entered from the hall, and the dining-room.
