Thing by thing

Four stops.

  1. The hall, in the entrance hall of the Traditional House.

    The hall

    From just inside the doors: the two stairs, the arch between them, and the great room and its windows beyond.

  2. The stairs, in the entrance hall of the Traditional House.

    The stairs

    Nineteen risers each. Oak treads on closed white strings, iron balusters with scrolls, and one handrail that runs up one stair, across the landing and down the other.

  3. Rings of light, in the entrance hall of the Traditional House.

    Rings of light

    Four brass rings, the largest seven feet across, lit on their inner faces and hung one below the next where they show in the window over the doors from outside.

  4. Marble floor, in the entrance hall of the Traditional House.

    Marble floor

    Honed cream marble in two-foot squares laid on the diagonal, their corners clipped for small black insets.
