AnI ntriguing Library Treatment

The Library, above all else, should possess an atmosphere of quiet and studious reserve. Such an effect is achieved in the library of Mr. Lemuel Goldwater's residence at Los Angeles, here pictured. Book-shelving, ih.o.rgh out the rogm are recessed to frnish fush with f.tteled *"il ",rrf"."r. Panels are heavily raised and fush moulded. The half-circular, ,h"ll-do-"d niches for bric-a-b rac, et either side of the fire-place and the delicately" carved wood band mould of the mantel, avoid a too restrained treatment and attain just the ProPer decorative note. The entire room is of Black Walnut, finished natural. Millwork contract by Southern California Hardwood & M anufacturing Co., Los Angeles. Roland E. Coate. Architect.
