The interior is spacious and contains a well-designed stairway as well as some interesting mantel-pieces. The attennated pilasters with their curious capitals and the delicate cornice give quite a graceful char- acter to the building. The combination of matched siding and clapboards which te often done in this region affords a nice contrast of li^t and shade. The door- way has a deep inset on the sides which was nndoubtedly done to light the hall -3- bhra the side-lights and also so as not to i...nterfere with the relation of the door width to the spacing between the two central pilasters. The iron railing may have been added later* The simplicity of the design is especially to be commended as evidenced in the treatment of the window trim* The cast-iron grille in the basement window was probably put in later, having been taken from some old (Jreek Revival House in the vicinity* It is typical of this kind of grille, the design being based on the anthemion* The house at Cayuta Lake is the best Colonial exanqple in the vicinity and compares favorably with any work in the country of its kind.
