State of New York, will be sold by
Joseph P. Day, auctioneer, on Saturday.

was bought thirty years later by Judge
Mitchell 1t has been held intact by the
Mitchell heirs up to the present time.
Owing to the large number of persons IN
terested In the estate and the necessity
for converting It into cash the executors
have ordered an absolute sale.
Bryn Mawr Park Is one OF the beauty
spots in Yonkers. 1t is centrally located
in fast growing district on the Putnam

large public school recently erected in
the district has proved too small for the

siderably enlarged by the addition of a
wing.

would have been even more rapid had
not the Mitchell estate stood a barrier tn
further expansion. The property occu-
pies a location 200 to 400 feet above sea
level and has fine view in all. dlrec-

A SPECIMEN or THE klHD
OF RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT NEAR
THE PROPERTY TO BE SOLD

One of the principal factors in the
rapid upbuilding of Nepperhan Heights
has been the experience of lot buyers in
obtaining building and permanent loans
for construction work. These are OBJ
tanned, it is said, without difficulty from
the many Westchester county building
and loan associations and from private
lenders, the residents there not having
been dependent upon local capital The
consequent building movement has re-
suited In the last four years in practi-
cally having doubled the number of
commuters daily from the Nepperhan
| station.
Nepperhan Heights is reached from
New York by way OF the Sixth and
Ninth avenue elevated railway to the
| Sedswck avenue station on the Jerome
and Lexington avenue subway, changing
there to the Putnam division train for
Nepperhan; by way of the Harlem Divi-
sion of the New York Central to Tucka-
hoe and thence by the Tuckahoe and Yon-
kers electric car line to Nepperhan /; also
by way of the Hudson River division OF
the Central to the Yonkers station and
by trolley to Nepperhan, or by way OF
the Hudson River division to High
Bridge and then by way OF the Putnam
division to Nepperhan.

KINGS REALTY DEALS
BREAK ALL RECORDS
Register Says September Was
Banner Month.

More Brooklyn real estate changed
hands last month than ever before in
any one month in the history of that
borough. This Is the outstanding fact
in the monthly report which has just
been issued by Register Webster OF
Kings county. The number of deeds re-
ceived during September set a new high
record for the office. The profits for the
month and the mortgage tax receipts
were also record breaking. There if
no indication of any let up in real estate
activity in Brooklyn, and the Registers
office predicts that 1919 will prove &c
be the busiest year in its history.
There were 1924 papers received fol
record in the office last month, SASS
deeds, 6,663 mortgages. 2,ol6 satisfac-
ton and ninety-eight miscellaneous pa
pers The total for the month is slightly
higher than the previous best record
which was made in July OF this year
when 1876 papers were received
These figures are not as large as the
record of June 1905, but the business OF
that month is not considered to give a
genuine indication of the real estate &C
tfvity of that time. The mortgage tax
law went into effect on July l, 1905,
and there was frantic scramble just
before that date to record all possible
papers and avoid the tax.

The oak from which the main entrance
door was built is said to be nearly 1900
years old. The matelpiece in the
library is rare example of the work
of the fifteenth century.
Another Tudor house. although less
pretentious than the Duncan house. de-
signed by John Russell Pope, Is the
Allan S. Lehman house at Tarrytown
" Y. This is an excellent example of
the half t1nbered Tudor house. In
placing the house, care was taken to
preserve the nearby trees and thus give
1t real manor house setting.
The brick. stone and slate used in this
house were treated to simulate the
weathered appearance OF old materials
The timbers OF the gables were also col
ored to reproduce age.
Two other extremely good examples
OF the Tudor house In America are the
Arents house at Rye, N, Y, designed
by Lewis Colt Albro. and the Allen
house at Morristown, N. j.. designed by
Charles l. Berg. The Arents house Is
Of the same general type as the Duncan
house, although slightly smaller. The
Allen house is late Tudor type. Archi-
tects have said that the Duncan house
the Arents house and the Allen house
are the best examples of Tudor archi-
lecture in America.

There was a marked leaning toward
horizontal effects in the Tudor period.
The towers were square and were FIN
ished at their tops with level oornices
and parapets The arches were de-
pressed, and the roofs hid themselves
behind parapets or gables.
1t was the last period of English
Gothic architecture and was a modifica-
ton of the second pointed style of Gothic
known as decorated English. 1t showed
a severity of treatment that prevented
coarseness and contortion. The archi-
tects of that period declined to look
upon piercings as the main features in
tracery and straight bars of stone and
wood became predominant
These houses showed an attempt to
achieve effect by the grouping of masses.
The fear OF damage and destruction. was
growing less, because of internal peace,
and Tudor architecture as a whole
showed a tendency toward refinement.
Marked the Decay of FeudaIism.
Spaciousness, cheerfulness, dignity and
often magnifcence were the qualities
aimed at in these houses. They were
homes rather than barracks. They
marked the decline of the great hall
from a dormitory for troops to a real
room, They provided admirable recep-
ception rooms and an adequate number
OF bedrooms. The great hall was still
the customary place for eating. and the
kitchen was placed conveniently near it.

The Tudor house Is the ideal type for
a pretentious country residence in Amer
lea. There have been attempts to re-
produce Rhine castles and French
chateaux, but they are not so well
adated to the American landscape and
they do not so readily admit of the
changes necessary to provide modern
plumbing and other conveniences un-
heard Of by their originators. OF course
there are certain Long Island land
scapes which seem to have been created
especially as setting for the American
italian house, Just as there are fiat
stretches Of land which call for a Geor-
gian house and other settings which
demand the early English Renaissance
houses, but the Tudor house seems to
be best adapted for the large American
estate.
Its terraces and gardens do away
with the seeming need for piazzas which
has caused many Americans to spoil
the lines of houses OF the Colonial type.
Besides there has yet to be designed a
piazza which would not look peculiar
to even the most INTELLECTUALLY blind
when it was thrust upon Tudor house.
The next article in this series. which
will appear shortly, will discuss the
English Renaissance type which bridged
the gap between the Tudor and Geor-
gian periods in architecture.

How much longer the fir lumber mar

The Tudor houses of America are the
show places of America. There are not
more than a dozen of them at the most
but they are the most stately of modern
American homes. Houses of this type
demand acres of land. carefully land
scaped. for their setting. Tudor house
on a city lot Is an atrocity of tho worst
sort Because of its cost and its de-
nand for acreage the Tudor house Is
the house of the wealthy. 1t cannot be
copied by the speculative builder.
Tudor architecture belongs to the lat
ter part of the fifteenth and the first
half of the sixteenth centuries. 1t marks
The breaking away in England from the
fortress idea in domestic architecture.
There was a growing demand for houses
for the new and wealthy trading fam
lies, which In the reign of Henry VIII.
were taking the place Of the old no.
bility, which had largely been destroyed
by the War of the Rose
Henry VIII. brought many and great
changes to English architecture Dur
Ing the early part of his reign the
wealth and beauty of architecture were
all lavished on cathedrals and mon-
asteries After his break with the
church he dissolved the monasteries
and ecclesiastical work ceased to be OF
Importance. With the dissolution Of the

monasteries new large estates were
formed from their lands and domestic
architecture replaced church building.
A delightful picturesqueness char
acterized these pre-Elizabeth houses.
Henry VIII introduced the first Italian
workmen to England and the native
Gothic architecture of that period was
often ornamental with crude but charm
ing limitations OF Italian stone work.
The plans and details of the houses
Of the Tudor period were designed with
an idea to the comforts OF life rather
than with an aim for exact balance or
symmetry. The typical examples have
battlemented parapets which, although
no longer useful for defence. were stin
retained as ornamental. The entrance
to the courtyard was usually in the
center OF one side under a gatehouse
which gave II prominence On the OPP
posite side of the court was the en-
trance porch
External doorways were simple in
recess or surmounted by projecting
stone work. The arch OF the Tudor
doorway was not fully semi-oircular,
like the earlier English doorways. but
showed a flattened head.
Glass came into general use among
the wealthy during this period and the
slit-like openings Of medieval fortresses
were supplanted by real windows in the
Tudor houses. These windows had
strong. plain mullions Of stone, which
united the large space Of glass with the
surrounding walls.
