ONE OF
Monroe's Elegant Typical Western
Homes Completed This Week.

home just completed at the corner
of Vine and Court Streets and fac
ing lovely park is destined to be
one of the Show Homes" of the
Queen of the Prairies.
From the street you pass over a
broad granitoid walk to the gallery
of Wisconsin granite ruble, which
is around three sides of the home,
to the broad oaken door swung on
heavy brass hinges and with a
heavy knocker IN the center, the
same as of two centuries ago.
When the door swings open you
find yourself in the large living
room, which has the large beams of
the old English and is of the old
mission style, finished in French
gray, as is the broad stairway lead
ing from it to the upper regions"
One passes between large square
oak pillars and pedestals from the
living room to the high wainscoted
dining room which is finished in
dutch blue.
The entrance from living room to
library is the same as the dining
room, but the library is finished in
oriental green.
And back of the library is the
Doctors and Mrs. Proctor's room.
Back of the dining room is the
buttery and kitchen where every
thing is lovely and finished in white
enamel.
At the top of the stairway is
"Jamie's den" which is large, airy
and carries OUT the Mission idea
only it is finished in Fumed oak
and bronzed gold and the large
chimney and fire place differs
from the one lin the living room,
in that it is of Wisconsin granite,
ruble work, instead of brick. A
short gallery leads from the den
to his bed room and a door from
it to bath room and closet.
Turning to the right at the head
of the stairs is the guest chamber
is exquisite being finished in
Toona Mahogony and furnished in
| the same.
Back of the guest chamber is a
lovely sewing room, bath rooms
etc.
Every bed room in the house
opens onto balcony.
The servants rooms are still
above while the laundry and furn-
ace room are in the basement.
The numerous closets throughout
the house are lined with red cedar.
The heating system is of hot
water. And the water system and
sewage of the home is simply per-
feet.
All of the windows large and
small are glazed with plate glass,
which, while from the outside looks
dark, makes it perfectly lighted
home.
All the hardware that shows is
of brushed brass and beautiful
and the electric light fixtures are
more beautiful and elaborate thar
any thing ever before in the city.
