ith a preference for an Anglicized Caribbean interior rendered in dark stained wood, this
family of husband and wife, their newlywed daughter and son-in-law, their recent college
graduate and his peers, and a son, a daughter-in-law and their two little girls, retreat in this
sprawling ark of a home.
Steeped in architectural details, the shingled exterior will weather balmy breezes as well
as the full brunt of gale-force winds. Vertically laid board and batten siding beneath deep,
overhanging eaves and stylized kingposts lend elements of authenticity to this style popular-ized
more than 100 years ago.
The salon unfurls beneath an elevated barrel ceiling. Harris created an interior landscape
in the living room with built-in bookshelves and an upholstered window seat bay.
The family members are puzzle people and almost always have a challenge laid out on
the window seat table. Underneath, the dark floors are covered with an heirloom Oriental
carpet on which groupings of furniture are arranged for one-on-one conversations or
boisterous gatherings.
