A most unusual feature of the house is that, for protection against the heat of the sun's direct rays in summer, the dat roof is designed to hold an inch and a half of water.

This is a three-bedroom home, with all of the bedrooms, plus a good-sized dressing room, in onc wing; the corner silting room, dining room and kitchen occupy, a second wing, sharply distinct from the other by being set off at an angle. There is also a dining poreli.
