 ANOTHER FINE EAST MAIN-sT. RESIDENCE.
 The two new residences recently built on East Main-st. by Messrs. Charles Holt and VI. H. 6mith, though in some respects similar in their departure from the ordi- nary in Stafford home architecture, are ysk dissimilar. The similarity consists in shA m6kinS of the lower stories of stone, but while the former is of granite the lat ter is of Longmeadow brown stone. Arcbi- tect Gardner of Springfield was the de- his fne residence for nearly year. MT. 8mish1 though begun but little later, has been built more ieisurely, the owners rsSjdenes meanwhile being. upon an ad- piping lot. The new house may not be another of ssthe finest residenct in Holland QQnnty,y nov 60 rapidly increasing in num- ser. It has been built to the taste of Mir. and Mrs. s. While the exterior is beauti- ful, upon entering we are convinced that the house was planned, as every home should be, from the inside, and the ex- teriof made to conform. The arrangement of the rooms we have never seen surpassed for comfort or convenience. At the front e the building, on the west side, an arch H constructed, within which is the porch, from which one passes through vestibule into the front hall, which is roomy and nearly square. A winding stair case of eley. rise and with broad landings occupies one bi(le. This hall is so roomy and pleae- at that one is 10th to leave it, but glances through into. the adjoining apartments tempt to further explorations. As you eater the hall from the vestibule, facing are broad doors opening into the sitting rem and at your left into the parlor. Fun his nllin hall runs passage way to tho dining room, which is in the rear of the sftting room and also opens from it. At night angles from this passage runs an- other hall or passage to 8 door opening up- on the drive at the east aide of the house. Within this east hall is a recess for the de- poeif Of hats, wrappings, etc., and from it alp door opens into a lavatory and toilet el0set. The Kitchen and closets opening frpm the dining room are provided with every convenience, are roomy and designed tq tighten labor, to save every step possi- tie sapd to afford convenlences that mutt make the position of supreme dic- tator of the culinary department an enviable one. All of the rooms upon the lower floor, most of those in the house in fact, are 6uished in natural woods. The front hall is natural oak, the parlor mahogany, sit. ting room cherry, dining room antique oak, balance of the lower floor in ash. The most eftfking features are the novelties and original designs of the finish of various rooms, Everything is pretty and elegant, without being pretentious or gaudy. The winter is impressed that he is inspecting home planned by and for it's occupants.
 The walls of large part of the lower door are of different form and tints of tex. ture work, a mortar like composition Nkought into various forms by the appli cation of brush. The parlor walls are eoyered with brocade paper, with wainscot panels of texture work, and with fresco end relief work over head. An arch ove, The recess in which are the windows, also one Qvef door, attracts attention, being hSndsonde fret work of mahogany worked into . rope like netting. The eye if siso caught by . beautiful small side window, looking into the porch, of orna mental uncoIored giRss The sitting room h papered with brocade paper, with Nsinscot panels of lincrusta walton. If we pass on without further attention to de- tsll it is because there are too many notice able features to particularize all. Under the entire house are basement and cellar rooms, laundry, etc, gas machine and fur nace also occupying each it's own depart unent. Electric apparatus is also here stofed for bells, lighting lamps, etc., ont feature being an alarm bell that keeps uE ac0nstant ringing if aught is wrong witt | gas buzneR, and will not be stilled till tht wrong is lighted. On the upper floor ars sleeping apartments, those of the family being finished in quartered sycamor, wood. The principal guest chamber i nnished in enamel, all the other rooms il natnral woods. All these rooms are pleas of The huaily rooms especially ar, hrge, convenient and pleasantly located On fhia floor arc also convenient lavatorie
