DIGNITY AND SOLID COMFORT unn ‘i' - | [l f| DEDRGON 10 « 306 = X m 1wen130 HE man who builds a home in T these times of high cost of everythiog, particularly rents, wants to know that he is getting the last possible penny of value for bis money. The house here shown rives him that value, with extras. Not counting projections and porches, the bhouse is square in vlan, 30 feet each way; and a square building is the cheapest of ul to construct and to heat. The broad porch runs almost across the tront of the dwelling. A little to one side of the center is a door- way leading into a hall, 12 feet by 13 feet, 6 inches. At the back of this hall are the stairs leading to the upper floor, and immediately >ehind them, the steps to the base- ment. A short passage before these stalrs connects ball and kitchen. At the right of the hall is the living room, 17 feet by 16, with a fireplace in the middle of the side wall. This room is lighted by two big plate glass windows opening on the porch and t# smaller ones at the sides of the fireplace. Back of the living room is the dining room, 12 feet by 14 feet, 6 inches. At the right, as yoa enter from the living. room, a splendid window groud which floods the room with itghté; dtrectly in front of you is an- otg;r window looking on garden. ep feet, 8 inches. Besides the pasnt: there is a large store closet, lm plenty of space for the usua' kitchen furniture. At the back i= 4 serviee entry way, containing she ice box. Upstairs are four good sized bed rooms, enough to accommodate a large family. Every bedroom hay windows on two sides, and is sup plied with a closet. There are alsc two hall closets and a large bath room; and over all Is an attic which gives additional storage space. So fine a house should be buill to last, and this has been done The walls are of hollow tile, covered with stucco, the gypsum plaster of the interior is laid on metal lath, and the roof is of as phalt shingles. This house is a good investment at any time, and especially good in these days of cl'mbing rents. The first cost is practically the same as that of a frame house, but there the two types of construction part company. The hollow tile house depreciates very slowly, is cheap to maintain, cheap to heat, impossible to destroy by fire.
