on the floor above), in tandem with French doors of
similar scale, results in an exciting light and shadow
tale in each room, as well as affording visitors to each
room splendid views over impeccably groomed lawns
and ancillary architectural components of this five-part
villa. There is nothing more thrilling than looking out a
window at architectural extensions of the same house,
set against the landscape.
Time-honored architectural details, familiar to Samuel
MacIntyre and McKim, Meade & White, are lavishly
employed. Greenberg praises contractor Larry Christiani:
���He is a unique contractor, a pleasure to work with. He
set up sheds making everything there, on the site, from
raw wood to millwork, from marble slabs to finished
pieces, from local stone to chimneys, everything.���
Ingeniously, as in every Greenberg residence, adroit
architectural Greenberg-isms abound, unique design
punctuation. In lieu of the generic red brick chimneys,
there are finely cut yet irregular fieldstone chimneys,
