Plan and Design of Halls in Modern Homes
An 1897 article advocates turning halls from mere passages into attractive rooms. It recommends glass upper door panels, avoid cathedral glass, hides hall racks, favors a chair or sette, use a clothes tree, and choose warm tones and selective pictures. In villa or suburban halls, keep formal character and avoid bric a brac, with careful lighting and layout. The featured residence spans 62 by 78 feet and costs 8400 dollars for the plan, not including mantels or heating.
