PaIatlaI Country Home
The paIatial new country home at
Arden. his country estate which com
prises $4,000 acres, largely woodland,
to which Mr. Hartman went imme.
diately upon his return from Europe
two weeks ago. and where he died,
is perhaps the most magnificent in
America and was the pride of his life.
The villa was erected at cost OF
$4,000, 900. 1t is not yet completed.
though nearly so, and decorators and
painters have been rushing work on
parts of the house for weeks.
The little town of Arden is placed
in the heart Of a delightful part of
Orange county. 1t lies back of New
burg, and is connected by new
state road which follows the Ramapo
river.
In selecting the spot for his house
Mr.. Hartman chose site where
malaria could not reach him. and
where he could enjoy the best of
mountain air.
There was no house within three or
four miles OF the mountains sum
NIT, and TO prevent undesirable
neighbors from settling, Mr.. Harri-
man bought not only the mountains,
but also the land on all sides for
three or four miles around.
Engineers looked the mountain over
and came to the conclusion that an
incline railroad was the best meth
cd of reaching the top in safety. The
road is now nearly complete.
All wood used in the construction
of the house was hewn on the noun
tain, An the stone. With the excep-
ton Of the Indiana limestone. was

The house is a three-story AMI
basement building of granite. It is
American in design. In the rear
are Venetian gardens and swimming
