There are many favorite parts, but the part that being close to the road dictated the early Elizabethan style is particularly notable. There have been comments here on the eclectic tastes of the day and that white neoclassical Library must have really made a statement. Applegarth was truly a charming house, with a quality that is almost never achieved in houses built today.The Devoted Classicisthttp://tdclassicist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-83383862335839461102011-08-16T08:19:11.747-04:002011-08-16T08:19:11.747-04:00Another sad loss – ‘Applegarth’ was an excellent h...Another sad loss – ‘Applegarth’ was an excellent house on an enviable piece of property. It was a manageable size (the house that sits there now is every bit as large if not larger) & its layout could have easily been adapted to fit a modern lifestyle (mostly reconfiguring the service wing). In comparing the floor plan to the photographs it appears the staircase was originally to have a 90 degree turn but ended up being built straight; I suspect to make the entry hall feel more spacious.<br /><br />The only thing I don’t understand about the floor plan is why there was a regular sized, solid wood door between the entry hall & the dining room. In most houses I believe there would have been an open walkway (like between the living room & library & library & dining room here) or wide pocket doors. The entry hall was already dark & having that solid door there made it only darker. It’s a mystery (to me at least).Doug Floor Plannoreply@blogger.com
