Stout, Esq., which is one of the most interesting houses built on the estate of the Richmond County Club, at Don- gan Hills, Staten Island. It is designed and built in the Swiss Chalet style, from which it gets its name. The house has an under-pinning of red brick laid in red mortar, while the superstructure is covered on the exterior framework with shingles, stained a dark brown. The trimmings are painted a darker shade and the sash are white. The roof is covered the front of the house, leaving the rear side of the house for the living-rooms. The interior of the first floor is designed for mission furniture. The trim is of whitewood, stained a soft brown, while the walls are treated with greens and terra- cotta. The fireplaces in the living and dining-rooms are bold and simple, and are built of speckled Roman brick, with the facings and hearths of the same, and furnished with large, plain mantels.
