The Atriumside


"In the atrium the walls are of limestone, with the recesses plastered and tinted a tannish tome, above a marble dado; with a frieze painted in Greek decoration , partly inspired by such painting as exists, and partly by terra-cotta vases. The ceiling is finished with heavy beams of oak brilliantly touched in with a colored decoration that reiterates Greek forms, while repeating tone found on the outer cases of Egyptian sarcophagi." The Architectural Review, January 1916.
