A fireplace of generous propor- tions in marble and black tiles was substituted for the very im- practical apology for a firepizce built originally with the house.
These alterations to walls and ceiling finished, the flooring had to be considered. It was decided after some deliberation that par quet was the best and most per- manent solution.
