The farm house is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Weir at 3820 Northside Dr., N.W. On the outside, this rambling house with bright yellow clapboard walls, magnificent boxwood and a series of lovely intimate formal gardens, is right out of the Eighteenth century. Inside, it’s as modern as next month’s issue of a glossy home decoration magazine. Much of the furniture was designed and made in California by a friend of the Weirs, Paul Laszlo, who is famous on the West Coast for his houses and interiors.
