Tolleson House Features Southern Architecture, Spacious Guest House BY MAXINE THOMPSON The home of the T. R. Tolleson family at 811 Forest Hill Road in Perry is really two in one—a lovely, white columned two story house out front and a charming balconied two-story guest house across an outdoor liv ing area in the rear. •‘We had a cottage at Lake Lanier,” Mrs. Mary Tolleson explained, ‘‘But we never had time to go up there and enjoy it. So now we have our separate play room with two guest rooms upstairs, and the children especially enjoy it.” The paneled playroom has a fireplace that is really used, and a corner snack area containing stove, sink and refrigerator where the young folks enjoy making pizzas, hamburgers, and oth er delicious foods for their guests. The red carpet makes a bright background for sofa and chairs covered in black and white vinyl, and hounds tooth check in the same black and white. A patriotic theme is carried out in dec orations, and a ping pong table can be brought out from its storage place under the stairs for a lively game. Carpeting in the two up stairs guest bedrooms is blue green, and the walls are wood with stain rubbed in. Furniture in one room is an tique white, and in the other is green, refinished by Mrs. Tolleson after being brought back from the lake cabin. All carpeting in the v play” house is the indoor-outdoor variety for easiest of care. Between the two buildings, there is a wide expanse of lush green grass and tower ing pines, then steps down to canopied patio beneath a white balcony. Inside the cosy den with gray slate floor and green rug, the brown, green and gold tones in upholstery and drapes extend the earth col ors of the outdoors and add warmth to the fireplace wall of brick, and black wrought iron candelabra and other light fixtures. Touches of nostalgia are aroused by the antique clock on the mantel and a vase of fragrant gar denias on the coffee table. At one side of the den there is a raised dining area with indoor-outdoor carpet in tweed of orange, green and brown. Adjoining the den, coming toward the front of the house, there is a library area with floor to ceiling shelves holding books, and records. A floral sofa brings bright color to the room, and the coffee ta ble is a big old round oak dining table cut down and refinished by Mrs. Tolleson. There is plenty of room on it for the family magazines. The large kitchen has an abundance of two things so many kitchens lack cabi nets and room to work. There is even room for a small table and two chairs, where Mr. and Mrs. Tolleson usu ally share breakfast in the mornings. " f* -■ _ | —** * jP *~^ t? i®S( Mr. and Mr*.

Uphol stery of the sofa and chairs is in varying soft shades of green, and a lovely antique secretary graces one wall. A beautiful original oil land scape hangs over the sofa —w MMM ■ rww'-v «Mk , ess 1 1 T*”**** 1 * '*'■**’ " irnrin ‘ "“ifnrnr -uur-.w- «Wi>w<w ***&&)»* A brick firuplac* wall and earth colors of brown, geld and green add to the cosiness of the Tolleson den that overlooks the rear patio.

Throw pillows add color to the muted tones of the sofa. In the front entrance hall there stands perhaps the oldest thing in this house that combines the old with the new —a 1790 Hepple white game table set beside the graceful staircase to the second floor. This lovely and spacious bedroom is on the ground beautifully finished wood cabinets with cheerful ball* fringed curtains and a green plant growing in a sunny window. floor, and each of the four Tolleson children, three dau ghters and a son, has a sep arate bedroom on the second floor, each furnished in a style designed to fit the per sonality of its occupant.
