‘ THE BISMARCK _TRIBUNE. .FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 1935 TORR (PN FROM | d109 SATURDAY| | Unusual Design Attracts Wide Attention; Many Have Asked to See It COMMANDS VIEW OF RIVER Fireplace and Windows Are Dominating Notes of Stone Structure Mr. and Mrs. Clell G. Gannon are going to open “Cairn,” their new home, to the public from 5 to 9 p. m., Saturday. Their aim is to both invite their friends to see it and to satisfy the curiosity of the public, many strang- ers having been intrigued by the un- usual appearance of the structure made from native stone. By having a public house warming and issuing an open invitation, the Gannons hope to assuage the public interest all at one time. Thereafter, they hope, they will not be faced with the problem of showing their home to casual visitors who have been coming to their door since they moved in Aug. 25. * “The house, located at the top of Mandan street hill on the west side of the thoroughfare, has an exterior of native stone and contains other mod- a ern and intriguing details. ’ Designed Place Himself ‘The design was that of Gannon himself, a well known local artist. Featuring the exterior is a terrace on the east side, constructed of stone, and which he expects to pave with flagstones. Another terrace on the south side also is contemplated and the property, placed on a lot 50 feet wide and 265 feet long, will be com- pleted by the construction of a stone garage, low stone walls, a sun-dial and an outdoor fireplace. Featuring the interior is a huge feet long, is a product of careful stone masonry. The stones in the fireplace are of varied colors, having been selected by the Gannons for that purpose over a period of years. Greens, reds, blues, whites and browns are combined in a pleasing effect to make it the archi- tectural and color feature of the en- tire interior. Many of the stones were brought by Gannon from his old home near Underwood. Has Big Living Room Surmounting the fireplace in the big living room, it is 18 by 20 in dimen- sion, are beams paneling the ceiling. ‘When he has time, Gannon expects to do some small murals as a decora- tion for the walls above the moulding board. He painted the murals for the Burleigh county courthouse. After the fireplace, the dominant note in the living room is supplied by the large casement window open- ing to the south. From this may be had a panoramic view of the Missouri river valley, including the Memorial bridge. Many visitors have comment- ed that it commands one of the finest views to be had anywhere in North! Dakota. ‘The casement widows swing out- ward and are double glazed, thus eliminating the need for storm win- dows. An interesting detail is that provided by the disappearing screens which roll out of sight. When the window is closed they roll up and disappear, leaving no fine netting to mar the view. When it is open they are drawn into place as protection against flies and insects. All Modern Equipment In addition to the living room, the house contains a bedroom, kitchen, bath and laundry room. The floors are of red oak with the exception of the kitchen, bath and laundry room, which are of inlaid linoleum. One side of the bedroom is faced connections, ground, thus eliminating overhead wires. Attention of vistors to the home is They were made by Henry Chisholm, veteran ironworker at the state agri- cultural college, Fargo, who made the gate at the entrance to the grounds about the Roosevelt cabin. Treated Cedar Root Topping the structure is a roof of cedar shingles, treated with linseed oil to preserve them from damage by the weather. This lends a soft effect to the place, Gannon said, and was jconsidered preferable to painted shingles. ! During the period when Gannon was thinking, planning and talking about his home to be, many friends brought him rocks from other states. These were carefully put aside and he expects to use them in construct- ing an outdoor, “friendship” fire- place on the rear of the property. Bruce Wallace was architect. Rob- ert G. Aune and Fred Anderson were the geenral contractors. J. C. Young did the stone work and Melvin Welch furnished the plumbing. Electrical work was by Service Electric Co., tin- work by French ny Welch and goes ing by Ashmore and Ellingson. furnace was installed by the nit! tana-Dakota Power company.
