JOHN J. LAMONT'S NEW HOME—Set amidst the tewering pines on Laurel Hill Road, the newly-com
pleted John Larhont nome has an exterior of functional simplicity. One of the most striking fsatures of
the inside is the kitchen, divided from the living room fay the wide brick fireplace. The motif throughout
the insic'i is early American, tastefully displayed in the above photo of part of the kitchen.
