IIL.. and on two-cent stamp for reply. i Ao To many people. the most important 'considerations in the building of a home are substantial construction and comfort within. They are not keen about a preientious exterior or some freakish design which will attract at- tention. Rather, they prefer a house of modest and popular lines, plain in design, but radiating a‘feature of good old-fashioned _comfort. Too often In tJie construction of a house these fun- damental features are overshadowed by the demands of a faddish age and as a result the finished structure is far from attractive and in many cases not at all comfortable or ‘conveniently arranged, These faults certainly cannot be found in the substantial, modest yet pleasing home shown here. While it is attractive, none of the more essen- , tial features of a real home have been sacrificed to gain this effect. It is one f the thousands of houses of the same ype that are to be found in all sec- tiong of the country. Built of frame with a rough-faced concrete block foundation, a little variety has been gained in the outward appearance by the use of shingles as siding above the first story. The front porch is wide, open and spaclous, adding to the' frankness of ithe whole design. A single door with long, narrow panels and small panes above leads the way into the home. The sters lines have been broken by rcof dormers on each side. The house s practically square, being 28 $wet wide and 80 feet long, nqt includ- ing the front porch. The advantage of squave dimensions have been often emphasized 1if"these columns. This type of house is very economical in cost of construction. On the firsk floor are the three liv- ing rooms, or more specifically, living room, dining roem and kitchen. The front entrance leads into a small hall which in turn (leads into the living room on one side and to the staircase to the floor above. The living room is 14 feet G inches by 16 feet, and is fit- ted with wall bookeases. Windows on two sides provide plenty of light and ventilation. A small closet in one cor- ner provides storage place for clothes. The dining room is in the rear of the living room and has double exposure, a large bay window of semi-circular shape in the rear and a window on the side. It is 14 by 12 feet. Access to ihe kitchen is afforded by a passage- wyy through the pantry, which is be- tween the dining roow and the kitch- opposite each other The kitchen !s 12 by windows t in build- t the bedrosms have plen- ace throuzh which ven- ds from the | ] onc has a large wardrobe. of no alr In the sleeping rooms is now i a dead letter.
