EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
The courtyard entrance to AUerton House is seen at the left. Typical of many English country houses, the entrance is placed on the side rather than at the front, to afford greater privacy and to preserve unbroken the views reserved for esthetic enjoyment. Also by this simple method callers may come and go without disturbing those using the main portion of the house. A direct entrance to the dining room is located on the left side of this court. The view above, a favorite scene, shows AUerton House reflected in the lake. The house faces southwest, giving it the advantage of the afternoon sun without the disadvantage of direct late afternoon sunlight streaming in the windows. Below is the terrace outside the library and the southeastern facade. • ••••• ^ RSltt OF tLU>
