UNUSUAL SUBURBAN HOME The Milton Caniffs' Designed by their neighbor, the famous

THROUGHOUT THIS HOUSE, the hand of the craftsman is in evidence. Ornamental tile work, designed for the Caniffs by ceramist Henry Varnum Poor, adorns fireplaces, floors, window sills, and even bathrooms. There is a ceramic mural over the fireplace, and ceramic flowers are strewn in welcome on the hallway floor. The house sits on a Rockland County hilltop, looking west to the Ramapo Mountains and south to the faint skyline of New York City, thirty miles away-a happy location for an artist who works day or night in deepest concentration. Caniff's famous hero, Steve Canyon, emerges from a comfortable, cluttered second-floor studio where the cartoonist has an extra-large couch for stretching out to think and a private passageway to an ample outdoor sun deck. Beneath the studio, a graceful expanse of plaster curves the length of the living room, around the fireplace and window bays. A variety of natural woods-maple, cypress, oak, and tulip-frames the free-flowing spaces. Floors are made of massive 12-inch planks, and the ceilings are handsomely braced by heavy oak beams. After twenty years of semiannual waxing, the wood, too, has become part of the quiet glow that is felt in every room of the Caniffs' serene and unusual house. Esther Caniff lights up table set with two-pound dinner plates specially designed and fired by potter Henry Varnum Poor. Polished oak beams give horizontal accent to living room, rear.
