THE FIRST HOME

Ton 'Quild

The surest way to get just the kind of a home you want is to
build it yourself, or more properly, to have it built to order.
Such a home need cost no more than an equally good home
built for someone else.

In all probability you have never
built before, or at most you have
built only once. Your building ex-
perience is limited. Ours, which
has grown and developed through
years of helping people to plan and
build their homes, is at your ser-
vice.

This plan book is the first part of
that building service. The hun-

dred homes and plans herein will
help you to decide on the style
and the sizie of a house you will
build. Pages three to ten will give
you many practical suggestions as
to the construction and the special
features you will have in your
home. Page 112 (opposite the back
cover) will aid you in deciding
how much you can pay for a home.

An Invitation

This book is only the beginning of our building service.
After selecting the plan best suited to your lot and your
ideas, come in and talk to us about it. If the plan needs
reversing or if it needs a few minor alterations we can advise
you about it. We can offer you still other plans in case you
do not find herein exactly the house you want. We can esti'
mate for you the cost of materials for the house of your
choice, and give you many other valuable suggestions on the
home building question. This consultation service is free and
we cordially invite you to use it whenever you need it.

The Home
You Ve Been Dreaming About

DEEP within the heart of
every normal man and
woman is a burning desire
to own a home; a place in which
they can express themselves and
live a sane, well'ordered life.

Haven't you thrilled at the
idea of coming home to a place
where you have complete control?
Haven't you dreamed of sunlit
and airy rooms, a cool and breezy
porch, a kitchen that is a kitchen,
a big open fireplace, and a garden
and a work bench?

Don't you glimpse the future
and see the children well and
happy with their playmates and
pets, growing up where associa'
tions and memories will be ever

From a Pdinti'iig bj Hihbird V. B. KUne

dear to them? Don't you see yourself a real force in the
community, a property owner, someone who has his roots
in the soil?

Who wants to live in a place where the landlord can
boost the rent and tell you to pay it or get out? Who
wants to be separated from his little old vine and fig tree
when the landlord chooses to sell out?

What do you get out of being a tenant anyway? You
can borrow money on a home, but whoever heard of a
bank accepting rent receipts as collateral? And do you
reahze, Mr. Tenant, that your landlord at this moment is
banking your hard-earned dollars which might have
helped you toward a home?

You say talking about a home is easy — getting one is
hard. Don't you believe it! Try it for yourself. You have
some capital saved up, enough perhaps to buy a lot, or
even more. With your heart set on building that home
you will find it easy to trim expenses here and there to
save much faster toward your goal.

You have started the ball rolling.

V^hat Kind of a Home?

The next thing to consider is where will you build? What
neighborhood? The kind of a lot you buy depends on the
style of a house you will put there. Consider the size too.
One house will fit nicely into a narrow lot while another
needs a wider yard for a setting, and still another is most
suitable for a corner lot.

Read the opposite page and
consider well your favorite style
of architecture. Then from among
the hundred home designs in this
book select a plan or two that
best suits your family needs.
Look over the special features in
the next few pages to see which
you will build into your home,
the sun room, the fireplace, what
kind of floors, and what conven-
iences and comforts you will add
for easier housework, and what
you can best do without for
economy's sake.

Now you are ready to talk
with our Building Service Man
about materials, costs, and the
working out of your plans.

Ho If It Feels to Own a Home

You finally move into the new home you have built.
Doesn't it give you a thrill to put your own key in the
door, step in, look around and say ''This home is mine?''
Isn't it a joy to survey the yard where you will plant
shrubs here, an apple and a plum tree there, an elm over
yonder, and a border of perennials to bloom year after
year?

You recall when as a renter you asked the landlord for
new wall paper, and how he used to say "it was good
enough for the last tenant," or "I guess we will have to
make it do." Now you pick out paper to suit your taste.

When you rented, the landlord couldn't always see the
necessity of this repair or that improvement. He did
things grudgingly "when he got around to it." He didn't
have to hve in the place and you were just staying there.

Now how gloriously different !

* * *

Home ownership means even more than that. It means
protection for the family. If anything happens to the
bread winner the home will hold the family together.
It means lifelong protection for mother and father. After
ten or fifteen years of regular saving to pay for the home,
the saving habit is firmly fixed ; they go right on saving
and building up their own private fortune.

How to get all the home you can ajford, and )'et not be bur-
dened with discouraging debt, is discussed fully on page 112.

THE kind of a home you want, the style you like
best,- — that should be your first consideration. But
on account of family needs, finances or the best
available lot, a different style may prove more desirable.
Let us consider the characteristics of several styles.

The Colonial with its plain simple dignity and its
homelike charms is a very economical home. Because of its
compactness it can go on a fairly small lot. The expensive
excavations and foundation are reduced to a minimum;
the roof too, is simple in structure and inexpensive.
Moreover the reduced radiating surface makes it easy and
economical to heat.

Square Type homes are also most economical and prac'
tical, they cost less to build, and are especially adaptable
for large families or for Duplex division. Treatment may
be Spanish, Colonial or typically American.

American Homes are of various pleasing designs with
characteristics of French, Mission, English Colonial or
any other distinct architectural type.

English Types, with their steep gables and their freer
and more graceful lines lend themselves to a wide variety
of designs. In most sections of the country this is the

most popular type today. These types are more adapt-
able to various interior arrangements as they need not
conform so closely to the rectangular floor plan. They cost
somewhat more per square foot of room area.

Spanish and Italian Homes are of stucco or solid
masonry with tile roof. The courtyard, arched doors
and windows, and columns are typically Spanish. Low
pitched roofs and horizontal rhythm of design character-
ize Italian Homes.

The Bungalow. Those who have lived both in the
two-story homes and in apartments will appreciate the
convenience of living on one floor. The bungalow, or
semi-bungalow with a room or two on second floor, how-
ever, lends itself to picturesqueness in any style of treat-
ment, Italian Villa, Spanish Mission, Colonial, English
Cottage, and various American styles.

Room for room the bungalow is an expensive house
to build because of its large excavations and roof area.
However, home is the place where we spend our money,
and we should build the best house we can afford. To
reduce the first cost, some non-essentials can be omitted
to be added later. A practical way to determine how
much you can pay for a home is presented on page 112.

Shall We Have a Sun Room?

EFORE determining upon the plan of your house
it is well to consider the advantages of sun room
' and sleeping porch.

The sun room, usually with windows on three sides is,
of course, the brightest and cheeriest room in the house.
This room seems to bring some of the open out-of-doors
into the house all year round, for growing plants thrive
in the sunshine.

Here is a place for mother to entertain friends or to do
her sewing, in the afternoon. A room where the children
can play and bask in the healthful sunshine. It adds size
to the living room when entertaining is to be done in the
evening, — a larger place to dance, or room for more card
tables.

When dad wants to smoke his pipe and read his paper
in peace, or study his business problems, shut off by
French doors from the disturbing radio or the racket of
children's games, here is his refuge.

If a sleeping porch is built upstairs above the sun porch,
what better ventilated or more wholesome place for sleep-
ing can be found? In the morning it can serve as a delight-
ful sewing and work room for mother, with plenty of
light even on the darkest days, and with room for sewing
machine, sewing table and all other necessary equipment.

Here in the afternoon children can have more freedom
to play than in a sunroom down stairs. Here Doctor Sun
can give them daily health treatments. And looking to-
ward the future when ultra violet glass will surely be

perfected and the cost reduced to within reach of the
average man, it can be used to glaze the sleeping porch
upstairs. Then much more of those vitalizing skin-tanning
sun rays will come through the glass on every sunny day.
A number of the plans in this book have sun rooms in'
corporated into them. Others have open type porches
that could be built as sun porches. Any of the houses in
the book can be reversed, if desirable to get the sun room
in the right position for your lot.

Stucco, Wood or ^ric\

How will you have the exterior of your house finished?
Brick will cost you more than any other material, but it
is fireproof, and the insurance rates are lower. It never
needs paint, depreciation is less, and the final cost after
one generation is less. Wide wooden siding is more
beautiful, but it costs more than narrow siding. The
effect of wide siding can often be secured with wooden
shingles, at a considerable saving. Painted white on a
Colonial home they look almost exactly like the familiar
wide siding.

Stained shingles offer a wide choice of colors and com-
binations.

Stucco usually costs somewhat more than wood finish
but is especially suited to some types of houses, the
Spanish, Italian and half timbered English.

Do you \now how much you can comfortably pay for a
home? This subject is discussed on page 112.

The Flooring in Your Home

Shall it he Oa\, Birch or Maple and of What Grade

FOR comfort and lasting utiHty, of course, every
housekeeper wants hardwood floors. They cost more,
but if economy in building must be the rule, it is
better to sacrifice somewhere else. Good medium grades of
oak flooring, maple or birch are reasonable in cost and
economical to use. Yet for those who can afford more, the
finer grades are well worth the money; they afford pride
and pleasure when it comes to entertaining friends, or
when rolling back the rugs for dancing.

If you build a Colonial house, the oak plank floor of
random widths will help to carry out the early Colonial
atmosphere. The deep rich brown of oaken floors add a
homelike charm to any type of house. Oak floors will last
as long as any house and those who prefer oak should by
all means have it.

Others are better pleased with maple. Its everlasting
smoothness makes it the ideal floor for ballrooms. Maple
will outwear stone. Light in color it can now be stained
in almost every color imaginable — a rich warm autumn
brown for the living room, a lighter shade to brighten up
a dark hallway, a gay blue to harmonize with the children's
room furnishings, a quiet green for a bed room, or an
ebony black to tone down the brightness of the sun room,
and to form strong contrast with the reds of the Navajo
rugs laid there. In this day of free use of color every-
where the popularity of stained maple grows rapidly.
Birch and beech also make excellent flooring. 1

A cheaper grade of durable, resilient hardwood will do
nicely for any floor to be permanently covered with
linoleum.

A Cozy Chimney Corner

JOHN RUSKIN said that we can live without pictures,
J but not as well. So with a cozy fireplace, we can live
without it, but if we can afford one, let's have it.

It is the center of the children's Christmas, home's
cheeriest corner. Its warmth is especially walcome in
cool evenings of spring, fall and even summer.

Many artistic effects may be had by rtoniuig the stairivay between walk.
In the plan of the Amsterdam this is the way it worlds out.

MILLWORK

for

Beauty, Comfort and
Convenience

THE STAIRWAY is the largest and most prominent
piece of built-in furniture in the house. Usually
placed near the doorway, it should be beautiful in
design to carry out the idea of good first impressions. It
should harmonize with the architectural design of the
house.

Of course, the open stairway with its rail and balus-
trade is generally the more attractive, but it costs more.
Who doesn't admire the white Colonial stairway with
rail and treads finished in dark mahogany; or handsome
oak balusters, round or square in an English house, or the
more delicate rail supported on slim metal balusters that
might go with an Italian design? Or any other open stair-
way that might fit into American architecture?

But still, many artistic effects can be had by running
the stairway between walls; and instead of a balustrade
at the open top, a solid plastered substitute will save
some money.

Arches between rooms offer interesting possibilities.
Here, again plaster costs a little less than millwork, but
the choice will be determined more by appropriateness
than by price. With a graceful wooden arch, however, a
bookcase, on either side can be nicely incorporated into
the design, or perhaps a writing desk on one side.

Built-in Bookcases are usually very satisfactory, for they
are part of the interior design. Bookcases that go particu-
larly well in one house may neither fit nor harmonize in
another. The tasteful choice of a mantlepiece can add
much to the living room and sometimes an especially
homelike effect can be obtained by having bookcases fill
out the space on either side of the brickwork. Or perhaps
a cozy nook seat at one side and a book case at the other.

In the dining room a china cabinet built across the
corner or a recessed buffet are real time saving conven-
iences appreciated by the busy housewife. Corner cabi-
nets take up less space, if the dining room is not large. They
should be more than conveniences, however. With de-
signs chosen to harmonize with the room itself, they will
add as much to appearance as any other furniture or
decoration.

The hreahfast noo\ has become very popular in recent
years. In some bungalows there is hardly room for it.
The nook simplifies the work of getting breakfast. It is
a light and cheery place to start the day, and often a
cozy httle corner to welcome a good friend in the after-
noon with a pot of tea on the stove.

Other Millivor\ Features

The recessed telephone noo\ with pocket for telephone
book and a convenient pad and pencil is appreciated by
those who like privacy in telephoning. Upstairs there is
the built in linen
closet with drawers
and trays below and
shelves above; also
wardrobe cabinets
built in with taste-
fully attractive doors
save space and beau-
tify the rooms. The
lady of the house may
appreciate a built-in
dressing table with
adjustable side mir-
rors and drawers, or
a wardrobe cabinet
on either side.

Red cedar-lined
closets proof against
moths will save
their cost in undam-
aged clothing in a
few years.

Built-in furniture
makes a house more
attractive and easier
to rent or sell when
vacant.

This towel cabinet is a great convenience

in the bathroom when there is sufficient

space available.

For Easier Housework

MOST men, appreciating the shorter working day
of modern times, want to give their wives
shorter hours, too. They note the great multi-
tude of time and work saving conveniences that have been
introduced into business and industry. In point of dollars
and cents home making may not be the largest business
on earth, or the greatest industry, but to home-loving
men it is the most important.

The kitchen is perhaps the busiest department of the
home, and the kitchen cabinet the greatest time saver.
With the sink at the right height and large enough, with
a window over it if possible, an electric light above, and a
comfortable stool to sit on, any woman can accomplish
much with little effort.

The old fashioned way of keeping the ironing board
behind the door where it often falls over is fast passing
out. The wall cabinet with an ironing board hinged
into it is the modern way. And there is wall room
for a convenient broom closet. Some like to have one
upstairs, too.

A package receiver, built near the back door keeps
muddy feet out of the kitchen; it keeps out those who

might be light fingered; it keeps the mornings milk from
freezing in cold weather, and at all
times safe from a clever dog or cat. It '^' '-"' . ol-

is well worth considering. ; ^^-|

For Bathroom, Too

In the bathroom, beside the hand-
some mirror-doored medicine closet,
a towel cabinet enameled to match
the rest of the bathroom might be
built into an otherwise unused cor-
ner. This would be a chest of drawers
to hold clean towels, wash cloths,
toilet paper, a shoe shining kit and
anything else that is used nowhere
else but in the bathroom.

Modern millwork and electrical
appliances have taken most of the
drudgery out of home making.

Whatever type of home you build,
you can select all the appropriate
millwork from our full line.

The Roof that Covers You

WITH the wide choice of materials we carry,
you can select the kind of a roof that suits both
your taste and your purse. Whether you want
a roof of one solid color or
in variegated colors, you can
have it in wooden cedar
shingles, composition, slate
or asbestos according to what
you can afford.

The composition shingles
cost the least, and their great
popularity proves them very
satisfactory. They are called
jiresafe because sparks from
the chimney cannot ignite
them. Fire insurance rates on
composition shingled homes
are generally lower than for
wood shingled homes.

Cedar shingles cost more
but generally last much
longer than composition.
They give a triple covering
of shingle everywhere on the
roof, which means additional
protection and better insu-
lation. Some builders are

partial to the thatched effect to be had with wooden
shingles. If you and your next-door neighbors use oil
heaters there is practically no danger from chimney
sparks. Wooden shingles will continue to be a favorite

among home owners. They should last thirty years or
more and the next generation can choose its own shingles.
A tile roof goes especially well with most Spanish or
Itahan homes and is suitable
as well for some English types
and California Mission
bungalows. Slate and as-
bestos shingles now come
in almost any desired colors.
Many home builders,
descended from European or
Colonial stock, follow the
example of their ancestors
and build for permanence.
They choose roofings that
are both permanent and fire-
proof, — slate, tile, or as-
bestos.

Roof Lines

Sometimes it seems desire-
able to alter the design of a
house already planned, to
build it wider for a larger
living room, or to build the
walls higher for the sake of
larger rooms upstairs. To
change the proportions or the roof lines even in a slight
degree may spoil the whole design. If something must
be done, let an architect revise the plan.

Pleasing
First Impressions

Y\7'HEN friends come to call on you their first impres-
^ V sion is of the delightful new house you have built.
But as they come up your walk, the entrance takes up
most of their view. Is it just an ordinary entryway? Or
does it have an inviting charm about it that seems to

bid them welcome?

Does it harmonise
with the architectural
design of the house
itself? An English or
an Italian door might
have an arched top, a
small cross barred win-
dow, and long hinges
and other wrought
iron fittings.

The Spanish door
might be set in a deep
arched recess with a
wrought iron lantern

outside to relieve the monotony of solid masonry. The
Colonial home would have a rectangular door with its
old fashioned knocker and a bench on either side. An-
other might have a slender pillared portico, or a wide low
gable over the entrance, while a home of gabled English
design might have a steep gabled entrance. Whether one
has been away from home for a day^s work or a month's
vacation the inviting entryway adds just that much
more pleasure to returning home again.

Both Summer and V^inter

The color of your house should harmonize with its sur-
roundings at all seasons of the year. Some white Colonial
or stucco homes look almost blank in winter time.
Evergreens around the entrance and placed elsewhere in
the yard will sometimes add the needed touch. Brick
trim around doorway and windows relieves the blank-
ness in stucco homes. A strong color in the roof may
solve the problem, however heavy green on a bungalow
roof may be too close to the ground for a good effect.

Easy on the Coal Pile

^t--

An airplane ride over the city after a light snow
/■A reveals an interesting condition. Most of the
^ -*- roofs are bare except for a white trimming of
snow on the eaves. Heat has escaped through the
roofs to melt the snow, except over the unheated eaves.
Those houses are wasting heat through walls as well as
roof. Here and there you will see houses completely snow
covered, some of which may be vacant and unheated but
more of which, especially in the newer districts
probably insulated.

The two homes shown here were built on exactly the
same plan, and by the same contractor. The house at the
left is insulated
with one of the good
brands of insulating
material while the
other is uninsu-
lated. The owners
compared fuel bills
at the end of the first
year. The insulated
house not only cost
$30 less to heat, but
because of the insu-
lation $29 was saved
by installing a
smaller heating
plant.

The $30 annua
fuel savings will pay the cost of the insulation in a very
few years and then make mortgage payments just that
much easier to meet.

Moreover, the insulated home will always be less
drafty and more comfortable, easier to heat, and with ap-
preciably less ashes to carry out. It will be a more whole-
some place for children who frequently play on the floors,
and there may be a considerable saving in doctor bills
because of insulation. In summer the house will be cooler
throughout ; on the hottest nights the bedrooms will be
cooler and more conducive to restful sleep. The attic,
under the insulated room will not become like a bake
oven as so many attics do.

In figuring on a smaller heating plant because of insu-
lation, it is well to consider whether you may later add a
heated sun porch, or a sleeping porch too, or perhaps fit
up an extra room or two on the top floor, each needing a
radiator. As children grow older they need more room to
play, or dad and his friends may want a recreation room
in attic or basement for cards or perhaps a pool table.
Mother may want a private retreat high up to catch any
breeze that blows.

There are many good makes of heating plants and some
are so designed that they can be enlarged when new
rooms are added and radiators needed.

For ^ueter Homes

Insulation serves still another purpose. There has been a
tremendous increase in automobile traffic since the war,
and other noisy advances in this machine age.

Wall insulation keeps most of this roar from entering
the house.

COURTESY OF
WOOD CONVERSION CO.

Insulation can be used also to deaden sounds inside
the house.

Used in interior walls, ceilings and floors it will
silence many noises, — the shaking of the furnace or the
roar of the oil heater, the sounds from the bathroom, the
racket from the children's play room, or even music at

times when others
want quiet.

Desirable as it is,
interior insulation
is not absolutely
essential. If you are
studying ways to
economi2;e and bring
down the cost of
your new house,
you can save a little
here, perhaps insu-
lating only the bath-
room. Another saving can be made by having
the insulation laid under the attic floor instead of
in the roof where it will take much less material
and work of installation. Then if a children's
play room is to be fitted up later in the attic, the
roof can be insulated and the floor will be all
ready to silence their noisy romping.

But for the sa\e of economy the house should he

insulated when it is huilt, as walls cannot be

readily insulated afterward.

The insulated house is more comfortable and easier to

pay for. Our Building Service man can tell you about the

individual merits of the best kinds of insulation.

V/eather Stripping Too

If you smoke, you can easily make an interesting test. On
a windy day light up and go to the windward side of the
house where you now live. Blow smoke slowly around the
windows. If they are not weather stripped you will see
the smoke blow sharply inward as soon as it comes to
the edges. Test the sill, and the crack between upper and
lower sash.

In the same manner test out the doors. If they happen
to be on the leaward side and not weather stripped, the
smoke will be sucked out. The greatest leakages are often
found at top or bottom.

Even in winter when storm sash and doors are on, this
form of heat leakage goes on just the same.

Weather strips on all doors and windows will also
save more than their cost in fuel before the house is all
paid for, and thus make the mortgage burden a little
easier to lift.

Weather stripping has still another advantage. It costs
money to have window curtains laundered, and weather
strips keep dust from sifting in around the windows and
soiling them. Besides, with less washing, the life of the
curtains is lengthened, — a still further saving of money.

Both insulation and weather strips are easy on the
coal pile. They will save their cost in a very few years
and pay dividends forever after. They should be built
into every new home.

Good Plans Will Save You Money

;■>

In the Building Operations

A MAN once tried to save a half'doUar by not buy-
ing a road map for a long automobile trip. The
time he lost, the extra gasoline he burned, and
the price of night's lodging and meals in a small town cost
him many times the price of the map.

To build a house without a complete set of working
plans is the same kind of false economy. A complete set
of architect's blueprints in duplicate for any house in this
book costs only $20.00, and in triplicate only $25.00. If
plans are not complete to start with, extras and changes
become necessary. Lumber, plumbing and other mate-
rials may be wasted, to say nothing of many hours of
workmen's time. But that is not all. Without definite
plans and specifications at the outset, there is too much
chance for faulty construction, also a chance for serious
misunderstanding between the builder of the home and
his contractor.

In the Finished House

The finished house should combine many important ele-
ments: beauty of design, an attractive interior, economy
of space, low cost of upkeep, and all possible convenience
and living comfort.

Often, of course, one element must sacrifice something
to another, but an architect has had many years of study
and training in the art of combining all these features to
get the best results.

If the house is not right when finished, it isn't as desir-
able to live in, and the owner will tire of its general ap-
pearance when the newness wears off. It may not be
comfortable, or its poor arrangement may make house-
keeping unduly hard. A business opportunity may call
the owner to another city. Ill health in the family may
call for a different climate. Some other unforseen emer-
gency may cause the family to move out. If the house is

not planned right, it may be extremely hard to rent or
sell, and it will probably bring several hundred dollars
less than it should, all for the lack of a set of architect's
blueprints.

Changes Can Be Made

You may not find just the right house for your lot in this
book. If the sunroom would be on the north side, or some
other feature misplaced, the plans can be reversed. If the
house of your favorite design is finished in stucco and
you prefer wood siding or brick veneer, that can easily be
changed,

A change in the shape of the house such as making it
narrower to fit the lot or changing the pitch of the roof
might spoil the whole design; it should not be attempted.
A different plan should be selected.

Some minor alterations can be made by the contractor,
such as changing a non bearing partition or the position
of a door, but these should be made on the blueprint
before building operations begin.

Beside the hundred plans in this book we have still
other plans to offer. After selecting your
plan, we invite you to consult our build-
ing service department. Being intimately
acquainted with home building problems
we can give you many practical and help-
ful suggestions. We can talk over the
various materials that you
will want to know more
about before you go ahead.

The CUDWORTH

A BRICK veneer English Colonial House with an
excellent floor plan and no waste space. No frills
or other expensive features, yet with every conven-
ience imaginable and the exterior is one that will out-
last many of the more "freakish" houses that are now
being built everywhere; it is patterned after our early
Colonial style and it is even now very popular indeed.
Be sure to finish the interior in the same treatment
— Colonial. There is an opportunity — for the plans

call for a fireplace in keeping with the exterior, and a
Colonial stairway in the center hail.

The outstanding features of the plan itself is the
well lighted large living room, a convenient vestibule
with closet, center hallway, lavatory on the first floor,
an enclosed back porch heated if desired, outside en-
trance to basement, and an exceptionally large master's
room with alcove and toilet. Note too the linen closet
and cedar closet a few steps down on the landing
between first and second floors.

nPHE exterior of this home, with its brick veneer
-■- finish and low sweeping gables, has an atmosphere
of sturdiness that will wear well. Allowing for a side
drive, the frontage should be sixty feet. With a rear
entrance to garage, the house could be built on a fifty
foot lot. The vestibule entrance has a generous coat
closet. The living room, with double Hght exposure,

and a friendly fireplace, lends a homelike atmosphere.
The sun room is always a place to enjoy a good book,
music or radio. The kitchen has access from both living
room and dining room. The dining nook, too, saves the
housewife many steps. The kitchen is conveniently
arranged, light and attractive. The three bedrooms
have ample closet space and cross ventilation.

WT^ cannot visualise anything that could be added
'^^ or deducted from the Washington to improve
it; this Colonial design is perfect. The dignified en-
trance, large front door, wide windows with shutters,
low roof lines, all combine to make a truly American
Colonial picture. The lot should be 50 feet.

The first floor has the usual large center hall,
with a wide stairway, a coat closet and arched

openings to rooms on either side. The toilet on
first floor is an added convenience. The second floor has
a large bath room with separate shower compartment.
The bed rooms are large, with roomy closets and cross
ventilation. The small center room at front is useful for
many purposes. The house must be white; use a green
shutter and dark green roof, plant blooming shrubbery
and your picture is complete.

The ALDEN

THERE is nothing in the design of a frame house
that can be of better exterior proportions than
those of this house. The tall massive chimney balanced
by the gabled entrance and the open side porch give
this house a charm that holds you day after day. Some
homes look good on first appearance, but they do not
wear. The Alden will be in good taste always.

The interior embodies many practical ideas, hence
first there is a vestibule, coat closet and toilet on the
first floor. An open stairway, easy access to the kitchen

from hall, and a conveniently located side entrance
are other desirable features. Everyone likes the prac
ticality of the nook for breakfast and luncheon. The sec
ond floor has three bed rooms with an extra room for the
maid or for a sewing room. If an attic stairway is desir'
ed, we recommend that it take the place of the closet off
the sewing room. The most appropriate color scheme is
silvergrey shingles and white trim. Keep your shingles
a hght straw color, rather than green, as there is
too much roof exposed for this latter color.

The SOUTHWORTH

THIS square type brick veneer house is very attrac-
tive indeed. Consider the possible color scheme
of a light terra cotta brick, brown shingles and blinds
of apple green, colorful ironwork, and possibly white
Bedford stone around the doorway and for window
sills. Square unbroken walls make for economy in
both labor and materials in building, consequently the
builder gets more for his money. There will be plenty
of room for the davenport, piano, radio, desk, tables

and comfortable overstuffed chairs and these without
crowding.

Large kitchens aren't required nowadays when all
articles are conveniently arranged in cabinets within
easy reach, and there is ample cabinet space in this
one — and a breakfast nook too. The interior is well
planned, for there is no waste space anywhere. The
house was planned for a family of large size for there
arefour bedrooms provided, each with cross ventilation.

THE house shown here has that happy look of pef
fection, both as to balance and details of construc-
tion, that is seldom carried out to better effect. The
brick quoins at the corners, stucco walls, brick en-
trance, combine to make perfect harmony. The second
floor, with its low dormer at the front, graceful steel
sash, shuttered window^ and white shingled exterior
completes the picture.

Variegated colors on the shingles do not particularly
add to the design, — -these can just as well bfe in one
tone.

The interior rooms have a pleasing arrangement.
The sun room can be all in one, or divided as shown.
The stairway, with windows at the landing make a
pleasing effect in the hall. The second floor has three
bed rooms, well lighted. The hall is small, but has
doors to every room. With the proper setting and
shrubbery planting such a house will be a lasting satis-
faction to the owner.

The SOUTHWOOD

IN England many of these half timbered homes have
stood for centuries. They have a quiet peaceful air of
permanency, combined with
a warm homelike atmosphere
that is always borne out by
the big open fireplace in the
living room. When the lower
story is of brick or brick
veneer the warmth and per-
manency are both accentuated.
While a deep wide shady lot
makes an ideal setting, the
house is very well adapted to
the narrower city lot.

The housewife will appreci-
ate the downstairs toilet where
a man can clean up after tin-
kering with his car without
tracking into the kitchen or
through the rest of the house.
She will like the convenient
breakfast nook with its out-
look on the garden and be at-
tracted by the entertainment
possibilities of the ample din-
ing room and bright and airy
hving room. The cedar closet on

the second floor and the third floor space where a maid's
room might be finished are other desirable features.

The BIRKENHEAD

THE advantage of turning the wide side to the
front is clearly shown here. The house is really
not large, but with this front, it appears larger. The
timbered second story, built out flush with the brick'
work is very effective. The roof exposure is too prom'
inent for treatment in solid green or red. Mixed

shades from straw to
brown with a few au'
tumn reds will give good
contrast. The timber

work should be brown, the stucco cream and the brick'
work brown.

The interior has some very desirable features, — -a
combination stairway and a first floor toilet. Each of the
three bed rooms has cross ventilation. The hall has a
stairway with access to the attic. The home should

meet the approval of any
one who desires an exterior
and interior, well designed,
at a modest cost.

WHAT a truly homelike place this is in all its
quiet dignity! How well proportioned and
balanced ! Through the reigns of the Tudor Kings of
England and Queen Elizabeth this half timbered style
of architecture was developed to perfection. In build'

ing your home on this plan, with enduring brick and

strong sound timbers, you are building for future gen'

erations and still at moderate cost.

A beamed ceiling would be appropriate for the

living room and the red brick fireplace will lend a
cheery warmth to the room even
when there is no fire.

Built in olden style this home
has all the desired modern com'
forts and conveniences the house'
wife appreciates. She will like the

yioo X 1010" unobtrusive stairway and the

convenient arrangement upstairs
where each bedroom has win'
dows on two sides. The dining
alcove will save her many steps.
For the man who loves to tinker
with his car or work in the gar'
den the convenient rear lavatory
will save tracking through the

FOR a family with several children nothing could

the first floor is accessible from the rear, saving many
steps through the house. The breakfast room and
music room are appreciated by all the family. The
stairway in the center of the house with its door to
kitchen and dining room, gives privacy if a maid is kept.

On the second floor we have three bed rooms of good
size. Closets and attic provide liberal storage space.

The siding painted white gives a real home atmos-
phere that makes the Barrister a credit to any neigh-
borhood.

The sun room should preferably face the south or
west. The lot should be at least fifty feet wide. A
private hedge at lot Hnes would be appropriate.

The GRIMSBY

THE English trend is well illustrated and handled
in this exterior, but the color of the brick should
be reddish, and the trim, and wide siding in the
gables, an autumn brown to carry out the idea. There
is a double advantage in the "Chapel" front entrance
and vestibule — distinction and protection from the
weather. Most modern in its architectural beauty, the
Grimsby has a pronounced individuality, yet its floor

plan is decidedly practical and efficient. A cheerful
living room of good size includes a fire place which is
designed to be "English" in character. A "Children's
Nook" off the dining room is a feature of this plan, too,
which will be an excellent place for the young members
of the family to study.

A library is provided, whose entrance may be from
the center hall, as shown in the plan, or the plan may
be slightly changed when
building to make the en'
trance through French doors
from the living room, depend'
ing upon what use is to be
made of this room by the
owner. And what an ideal
kitchen — with its row of built
in cabinets over and around
the kitchen sink.

The owner of this house
too will be proud of the second
floor arrangement which in'
eludes three bedrooms, and
an extra large amount of closet
space.

BALANCE, proportion and pleasing design character'
ize this English type brick veneer house. It is of a
design very popular in the newer sections, and will be
in good taste for many years to come. Picture it if you can
in its natural colors and setting, with the dark red brick,
brown trim and gable with a roof of variegated colors.

And what a practical and distinctive floor plan we
have — a living room 13'xl8' in si2;e with its characteristic
English fireplace. There is a fine large coat closet off the
vestibule and a toilet on the first floor. We have labelled
the extra room on the first floor a sun room, but this may
be a library, a music room, a den or a bed room, as best
suits your needs. The hallway is convenient to all rooms.

The second floor has two very large bedrooms, and one
smaller. A large storage closet is planned which may be
lined with cedar and a linen closet is also included.

Here is a design to which a great deal of thought and
study has been given and we can highly recommend it.

The KENT

' I 'HE quaint old English characteristics of construe
J- tion are plainly visible in this design; the sloping
roof lines and peaks are very apparent, and the half
timbered effect under the gable are reminiscent of the
Elizabethan period. The house is not large, being 32'
wide by 25' deep, over all, and should be quite reason-
ably built. The cost will depend largely on whether
expensive materials are used; but if simple materials
are chosen it will make an excellent home at not too
great a cost.

The interior plan resembles somewhat the colonial
design for it has the central hall way, with the hving
room opening off to the left, the dining room to the
right, and the enclosed stairway to the back. The
living room is large being 13' x 24' in size, which affords
plenty of room for furniture and for entertainment. A
breakfast nook could be added to the rear with access
from kitchen. The second floor shows three large
bedrooms well provided with windows and closets.

The PLYMOUTH

"^HE Colonial house will always remain as an architec-
tural combination that never will be out of style. The
secret of its charm is simplicity. The house seems always to
express the character of the owner, people who dominate in
hospitality and good cheer.

The construction of this type of home is such that every
dollar spent expresses some useful purpose. The center hall,
vestibule entrance, open stairway, give dignity to the entire
house. The rear clothes closet could if desired be converted
into a toilet room. Many variations of this layout are
possible, but primarily they would be built around this plan.
The sun parlor at the rear can be left off if it is desired to
save a little expense.

The second floor has four large bed rooms, large closets and
a stairway to attic. As an added feature we have a dust
porch off the stair landing. This house should always be
built low on the ground, as shown in this illustration.

The BARRINGTON

THE stucco and timbered house we have shown, with
its sharp cut lines and well balanced front, is a good
example of modern American house construction. Its lines
and exterior appearance are adaptations from the early
English characteristics; the half timber and stucco finishing
and the gables are truly representative of an age long since
passed. The gabled entrance, with chimney on opposite side
makes a balance that is finished by the pleasing arrangement
of the windows. This type of house should be placed low
to the ground.

The entry into a spacious vestibule with large closet is
desirable. The reception hall, because of sufficient space,
may be furnished as an additional music room or den. The
combination stairway is compact and convenient. The dining
room is well lighted and large, readily adaptable to modern
or antique furniture.

The second floor has three bed rooms, and a sewing room
useful for many other purposes. Each room has cross venti'
lation and large closet space.

The exterior wood trim should be brown, sash white,
with a mixed colored shingle on roof, generally of a brown
color. If you have a desire for something of a permanent
style and character in your home, we can thoroughly recom'
mend this plan.

The WICKLIFFE

SOME architectural styles are like fundamental
truths and natural laws, centuries old, yet always
finding new and modern expression. The fine old
half-timbered house of Elizabethan days is still in style.

If it pleases your eye, build one for yourself. Build it
with siding of wood or of brick, as you like, but build
it solid and structurally sound, for the sake of your
children and great grandchildren.

Here is a good English plan to
follow if your family numbers
three or four. The big well lighted
living room with its cheery open
fireplace invites family and friends
to gather there. The breakfast
nook overlooking the garden saves
many steps for the housewife. In
the afternoon with a pot of tea
on the stove it makes a cozy place
for a friendly chat with a neigh'
bor. She will delight in such a
home. The back door and the
vegetable room in the cellar are
handy to the kitchen. The bed-
rooms, light and well ventilated,
have three windows apiece, and
the master's bedroom, two good
closets. The square compactness
of the house makes for easy house-
work and economy of upkeep.

SIX ROOMS, SUN ROOM, BREAKFAST NOOK AND SEWING ROOM, 26X26 FT.

The ROSITA

^uo}i^\lODl.'

THIS square stucco house is very attractive — it
slightly imitates the Italian. Consider the possible
color scheme of a subdued red tile roof, with cream
color stucco, white trimmings, apple green shutters,
colorful awnings and brick to match
the tile roof — this will give a beautiful
color harmony.

But to recommend this house, the
floor plan speaks for itself. It is very
complete, for as is mentioned above,
there is a sun room off the dining room,
and a nook for serving breakfast. The
two arched openings, one between the
living room and dining room, the other
between the dining room and sun room,
both in line give a real air of roominess.

The plan shows a side grade entry
to the cellar and kitchen and a rear
entrance by way of a back porch. To
make the plan more complete, there is
an extra room on the second floor which
can be used either as a sewing room or
a den. Three bedrooms are included,
each one with closets of good size. In

case more storage space is required, a disappearing
stairway can be installed in the hall, so that some
things may be kept in the attic. A rear upstairs porch
will be found very convenient, too.

the porch at the rear.

The second floor has four
chambers. Even if all these rooms
are not used as bed rooms, an ex'
tra room is often needed for other
purposes. A den or study for the
head of the house is quite ad'
vantageous.

The lot should be 40 feet wide

The WOODSIDE

T^HIS is a very popular type of home, a fine example of the
J- low sweeping gables as applied to a two story house. The
entrance is balanced by a sun room at the opposite side, the
windows in between giving a pleasing effect. The shingled
exterior is the best material to use where frame walls are desired,
otherwise brick veneer should be used.

We have an interior arrangement that will meet with the
approval of every family. The reception hall can be divided at
the front door to give a vestibule if desired, without being
detrimental to the si2;e of the hall. The breakfast room is located
between the kitchen and dining room; it has ample space for
furniture and in addition a built'in china cabinet. The second
floor has three bedrooms, well ventilated and a large bathroom.
If attic stairs are wanted they would have to enter from bed-
room at front.

An excellent plan, well planned, practical and one

wider lot than usual, unless you build on a corner and
face the house the other w^ay. It is a plain type but the
sunparlor on the side helps to take away the square
effect. It is a clean cut home of American style that
can be built at a reasonable cost. The attractive hood-
ed entrance with sidelights gives the house a touch

of curved lines to break the monotony of the straight;
while window boxes will furnish opportunity for
color.

The long living room and sunparlor are separated by
French doors with a cased opening. The kitchen is
a great step saver. The refrigerator is placed in the

THE square type of home shown in this illustration
is the most economical house to build, per cubic
foot of cost. There are no lost corners, the roof lines are
simple and the entrance is modest. The interior has on
the ground floor four large rooms, one of which may be
a library or bed room. The chimney is located so that
the kitchen stove may be connected to it. The two
large connected rooms at the front of the house are
very attractive. The stairway hall is exceptionally

well placed, giving access to all rooms, as well as to

The WENDELL

Just as it appears from the outside, the
•^ Colonial home is always one of comfort and
of beautiful simplicity. This compact style of
house is economical in every way. It will fit into
a fifty-foot lot. It is most economical to build,
and its square design with a low slope to the
roof makes it easy on thecoalpile. Well insulated
)t can easily be kept warm and draftless all win-
ter, and cool throughout the summer's heat.

The living room, with windows on three
sides takes up half the room space down-
stairs.

The dining room and kitchen have the usual

The side porch, which makes a convenient

The REVERE

HERE we have a little gem, just small enough to be
built with reasonable cost, and large enough to
keep the interior divided in well proportioned and
ample rooms. Study the exterior, the simple regular
lines, the modest entrance, beautiful windows and
most of all, a large central chimney. We often do not

realize how a chimney can "make or break" a house.
At the peak of the roof it belongs, but many times it is
not possible to put it there.

The interior speaks for itself. The living and dining
room at the front, connected by a short passage is very
unique. The inside fireplace with chimney giving direct
connection to kitchen with a separate flue is very good.

The nook is wel-
come in any home
and the open
stairway with di-
rect connection
to basement, rear
yard and kitchen
is a salient fea-
ture. The second
floor has three
large bed rooms.
Keep such a
house white,
straw colored
roof, light brown
shingles and well
planted shrub-
bery; it will be
a gem in any
community.

The PORTLAND

'HE square house must always be considered one of
the most economical types to build. The advan'

tages of heating are easily understood.

This plan has a large front porch, ves-

tibule at entrance, with a large living room. The
kitchen has a rear porch; this could be a breakfast
nook if desired. An extra room or two may be gained
on the third floor. The house has the best appear-
ance with shingles for second
story of light brown color, a
cream colored siding and a dark
brown roof. Avoid a green roof.

The Portland will make an
excellent home for the rural
districts, for the town, or for
the city. It will always be in
good demand, and readily sal'
able in case of necessity.

The WINONA

A LARGE family means a great deal of work for the
home maker and considerable expense. So the
architect planned this compact house for easy house-
work, and for economy both in building and upkeep,
as well as for comfort and ample room. The four bed-
rooms are handy to bath and linen closet. The arrange-
ment downstairs, especially in the kitchen, is very

convenient. The large living room with fireplace has
room for davenport, bookcases and radio.

This square type American style of architecture
will always be good. The house will look well either
on a large lot or on a small one with a house close
on either side. Where four bedrooms are required,
here is a plan we can highly recommend.

The BROCK

HIS Dutch Colonial is a fine example of what can
be done with a small house of this type. The sim-

plicity of the entrance adds dignity to the exterior.

The large concrete terrace at the front without a rail-
ing is again in favor of the design.
This house, with its white paint and
terraced lawn, will always look up to
date; it is an economical type to
build because of its simple, compact,
rectangular plan.

The floor plan shows a reception
hall, with access to the kitchen and
basement. The large living room has
a fireplace and arched opening to
dining room. Wall space has been
provided for furniture and pictures,
and several arrangements are pos-
sible. The housewife will appreciate
the china and broom closets. The
second floor is unusual for this type
of house. The large bed room is well
adapted to modern twin bed fur-
niture.

CELDOM do you find a small home of the Dutch

out of harmony with the true Hnes for this type of
house; but this one is really well proportioned for a

IHl- V.kjV

VAK PYKE

house of a dimension of twenty-four by twentyfour
feet. Though the blue prints call for frame construe
tion, it could be built of brick veneer for the first story.
The charm of this type of house is its old and truly

characteristic design . For
brick veneer use mortar
joints and mingled col'
ors. The side grade door
makes an entrance to the
basement from the yard,
saving many steps
through the house.

Interior decorations
should be in Colonial
wall papers, stained
woodwork first floor and
white enameled on sec-
ond floor. Avoid all
rough textures in plaster
or ornamental plaster
cornices. The fire place
laid up with a smooth
surface brick and a red
tile hearth is in keeping

with the charm of this style of architecture.
A hot air heating plant is quite adaptable

to the square type of house.

THE low general lines and overhanging eaves of the Dutch
colonial are carried out in this design. It provides a compact
plan and is ingenious in the logical placing of rooms in relation to
each other. We have a center entrance and hall, which is not
always possible in a relatively small house. The exterior should be
painted white, the roof sea green or light brown shingles, and
green blinds.

The interior has several features not always found in houses

of this si^e. The ves-

the living room is well

The ROWLAND

HERE is a small house that surely embodies
unusual character — small and economical
to build, but presenting a particularly good
"front." Its design is accentuated by the pleasing
roof lines, the silver gray shingles, and a light
brown roof and white trim. It is just the style
you see nowadays, yet it is strikingly different.
With new and modern furniture, colorful drap-
eries and light window shades, you will surely
be proud to show it to your friends.

The center entrance with vestibule leads to
the living room. There is quite a roomy and
spacious feeling about this downstairs layout — ■
for the dining room, living room and sun room
are all connected by wide entrance ways. The
open stairway at the end of the living room gives
convenient access to the second floor. Here we
have three bedrooms and a bathroom.

The KENILWORTH

IF we could only show you this attractive Colonial
semi'bungalow with its appropriate colorings sit-
uated as it is alongside homes of various designs, you
would also enthuse over it. Wide siding painted white
and shutters of a rich green shade make a rich harmony
of color that is exquisite,

Seldom do we find a combination of exterior beauty
and an ideal floor layout that can give us more than

this plan offers. The colonial roof and dormers, the
modest entrance, the private side porch, give a dis-
tinction to this house that is dignified. Such a house
will live through every style that may come; it has its
own character that will always stand comparison with
the newer homes built later in the vicinity.

And every convenience has been included; it is a
real gem both in exterior design and interior layout.

The BRIARGATE

THIS dignified house should appeal to the admirer of
architecturally harmonious houses. A person building a
home should give very serious consideration to its salability
or resale value, in case of necessity. The Briargate conforms
to present day styles or trends in exterior design and interior
planning, and should be one that could be easily converted
into cash, should the occasion require.

The vestibule opens into a large reception hall, from which
the stairway leads to the second floor. Notice the quite
unusual arrangement of these stairs. The living room has a
fireplace, plenty of windows and wall space. The side porch
is very desirable and serves a useful purpose. The dining
room is compact; it has a doorway to living room, giving it
a privacy often desirable.

The second floor has large bed rooms, well lighted and
ventilated.

The family living in this well designed house will find
considerable pride in its ownership.

The LELAND

FOR those who prefer the modest and retiring type
of home this English semi'bungalow was designed.
With three bedrooms upstairs and dining room, break-
fast nook, large living room and sun room it accommo'
dates nicely the family of average size. The stairs lead
directly to the kitchen door to give privacy if a maid
is kept.

Unlike the Rowland design, the sun parlor is under
the main roof making the house more compact and
easier to heat. The two windows in the breakfast nook
make it a bright and cheery place to start the day, and
the fireplace makes the living room cozy for an evening
at home with friends. A house both attractive and
comfortable to live in.

It has the real look of a home, where folks live who are
active in their community life and enjoy their suf

very desirable in the colder climates. The living
room has a fireplace with an open book shelf. The

fully lighted with six windows. The bed room and
toilet on the first floor will be appreciated in many
households. The kitchen arrangement, with closet and

room, and ample closet and storage space.

The EDGEWOOD

T^HE English Colonial lines are well typified in this
J- design. The wide shingles, narrow cornices and
bold entrance are essential in this style of house. The
exterior colors should be white, with gray trim, brown
brick chimney and a light brown roof. Draperies should
be colorful, window shades of ochre color.

The interior arrangement gives a large living room
and dining room across the front. The music room can

be used as a Hbrary or bed room. The hall, with door
to kitchen is very convenient. The closet at grade
landing can be a wash room, if the local restrictions
are not contrary. The second floor has three bed rooms,
large closets, a roomy bath room and well laid out hall.
The entire house will be always up to date as it is a
true example of domestic American architecture, and a
type which is rapidly increasing in favor.

The CANTON

HERE is a design that should interest those that
want an English type home that is not considered
freakish. It is pleasing to the eye, and your liking for
this design will not diminish. There is an artistic
effect gained with the peaks in the roof and over the
entrance. The span of four windows gives nice
balance, and the dormer windows above complete the

"cottagy" appearance which is very effective.
There is quite a different arrangement of the stairs
in this plan. They ascend directly from the outside
doorway, with a nice balustrade showing from the
living room. There is a side grade entry, and a coat
closet in the rear hallway; a fire place is included at
the end of the commodious living room. The dining
room is conventional, with plenty
of light from two pairs of win'
dows. A breakfast nook might
be easily added in the rear of
the kitchen, and plans will be so
drawn this way if specified.

One bedroom upstairs is quite
"roomy" indeed, while the other
two are smaller. By the addition
of a disappearing stairway in the
hallway, an additional amount
of storage space would be gained.

The WESTCHESTER

THE attention of the passerby cannot help but be
arrested at a glimpse of this home. There is an
excellent character inits proportions,
Southern Colonial in atmosphere.
The architectural lines and style is
one which we see too little of. If a
home of real distinction is wanted,
one which will always be in good
taste, simple to construct, the West'
Chester can be very appropriately re-
commended.

The first floor has a typical bunga^
low layout, with the exception of a
music room or library instead of a
second bedroom. A complete bath-
room is located downstairs and you
will find a linen closet, and another
closet well located. The kitchen is
not large, but mighty convenient,
for everything is within easy reach
with cupboard space and sink along
the side wall, and a rear grade entry.

There are two bedrooms upstairs,
each with windows on two sides.
Then there is quite a little storage
space under the roof to the rear.

Colonial designs like this should

be painted white, with green shutters and a green
or brown shingle roof.

THE house shown in this illustration is very com'

ends on porch and dormers are in good proportion. The
combination of shingles and siding tend to keep the
height down and offset the broad plain surfaces of the
house.

We have six rooms in this plan which are well
arranged. The bedroom on the first floor can be used
as such or it would be desirable for a den or study. The
kitchen could be made larger by extending this room
four feet to the rear. The plumbing is located in such
a way as to reduce the cost of installation, the bath
room being just over the kitchen.

JUST a plain, simple, comfortable home, and not at all
pretentious. A harmonious color combination will
best bring out its homelike atmosphere, a cream color,
for instance, with green blinds, and a roof of autumn
brown. The small outside dimensions of this house
give plenty of space for ornamental trees, shrubbery,
garden space and lawn. Yes, and a garage, too.

The large living room with light on three sides will
serve as a sun room as well; the side windows could

be larger. The big open fireplace is included in this
design, for it is a source of good cheer not only in
winter, but also in spring and fall when the furnace
fire burns low, and even in the cool damp rainy eve
nings of summer. The small but convenient kitchen
makes room for a larger dining room, and good facilities
for entertaining. Upstairs, each of the bedrooms have
cross ventilation. Their doors are convenient to the
bath, and to the linen closet as well. This is an excel'
lent home for those who are fond of plain simplicity.

' I 'HOUGH we show only one floor plan here,
•^ we want to call attention to the second floor for
our blueprints call for two large bedrooms upstairs.
If your lot faces such that it would be more desir'
able to have the plan reversed, the blueprints can
be reversed for the contractor to accomplish this.
This is surely a popular little bungalow, requir-
ing a fortyfoot lot. The living room, nearly square,
with its four windows is of a real satisfactory size,
made very comfortable and homelike by the fire
place in the front. Whether in the daytime with
the windows — colorful drapes at either side — ad'
mitting a flood of light and sunshine, or at night
in the glow of the lamplight and with a fire on the
hearth, the living room is always certain to be a
delightful place to spend one's time.

The kitchen is one of the best arranged, with
everything within easy reach by taking only a few
steps. The breakfast nook is larger than usual and
has cupboard space at the left. Notice too the coat
closet off the vestibule, the broom closet, the linen
closet, and the closet off the first floor bedroom.

"LJERE is a cottage packed full of conveniences.

into a larger house, but you will be comfortable

designs that may be completed later just as well
as not, for the two bedrooms on the second floor
may be finished when circumstances demand.

As a whole, the proportions are good, the
balance perfect. The three windows at the left
are balanced by the two at the right and the
peaked roof and doorway; it is the handsome
Colonial doorway too that distinguishes the
exterior. Wide siding is particularly appropriate
to this small bungalow — it is delightfully at'
tractive and inexpensive to build. It should be
painted white, of course, with a dark green roof.

Keep flowers in the flower box during the
summer. Plant some shrubbery in front and you
will be proud of your investment in this house.

The vestibule entrance is large and roomy and is

The iron railing is a feature
that should not be omitted.
The house may be built on a

leads therefrom to the basement and

access from the kitchen either up or
down.

The upper floor has two large bed
rooms, a sewing room, plenty of storage
space and if desired, a toilet.

The exterior is finished for the lower
floor with brick of a hght color. Even
the more expensive bricks are relatively
cheap in the end, considering their
durabihty. For actual resistance to
weather and fire, nothing has been de'
vised to surpass it. Centuries of ex'
posure serve only to enhance its beauty.
That is why we have included a brick

The SUNRISE

THE sweeping and curved gables of
this design over the windows and
doorway make this home an outstand'
ing one. In some locaHties this home
would be quite a departure in design,
while in others it has been built with
variations over and over again. You will
not find many like this in plan books. It
probably should be classed as English in
design, which we consider quite a little
gem. In building a brick veneer, you
will find that while it may cost a little
more; however, your banker will loan
more because it is a better investment.
It will be less expensive to maintain
for it requires no paint, except enough
to keep the trim from decay.

The floor plan is outstanding, one
of the many features being the alcove
off the living room, to be used as a den,
a music room, or a library. A physician
or minister often requires a room where
a little privacy may be had upon occa'
sions. The bathroom is downstairs,
near the one bedroom on the first floor.
Upstairs we have toilet facilities pro'
vided, two bedrooms and some storage
space. Truly, an excellent home both
inside and out.

The DEVONSHIRE

SOMEONE has said "Four Rooms now and Six
Rooms later." This is a good way to start off,
saving the expenditure of finishing the upstairs rooms,
and the consequent interest charges until the necessity
demands. This house is complete on the first floor, and
the downstairs bedroom will be most convenient even
after the second story is finished..

This floor plan has been most popular, and many
semi-bungalows are built using this plan as a basis.
The Cretin is one variation; the Ben Avon another.
Because they are so popular, you are reasonably sure
of a ready market in case a quick sale should perhaps
become necessary. In this plan the two upstairs bed'
rooms are of good size; there are two big closets each
with a window and quite a little storage space.

* U . Uii on I K L ' Xotice that we have added to the plan two small windows in the living

room, and two wiridows upstairs which were not on the original house.

The CRETIN

SOMETIMES a single detail will hft a small home
out of the commonplace. This may be said of this
design, the Cretin. The good proportions of the house
as a whole, the finely spaced windows are all important
considerations, but it is really the handsome Colonial
entrance that distinguishes this exterior.

The floor plan and size of this home is very nearly
the same as that of the Devonshire— except the

Cretin includes a sewing room whereas the Devon'
shire does not. But because of the popularity of this
plan, we have felt that both designs should be in-
cluded. Consider them both, and build the one that
suits your requirements best. Study this floor plan
carefully and you will find much to recommend it for
a home of only moderate cost. It is a home that will
be found very practical indeed for the average family.

very pleasing.

The large living

room has a fire place

and plenty of wall

space. The dining

with doors in line

makes the whole io'

terior look quite

''roomy." The sun

room can readily be

used as a bed room.

There is a toilet on the first floor. The side entrance gives

access to both floors without going through the house. The

second floor has three bed rooms and a bath room. The entire

plan is well laid out and will make a particularly attractive

home for a small investment.

the color scheme is perfect. Evergreens and shrubbery
add to the exterior. The first floor has a bedroom and

The "Ben Hova" is exactly the same design, ex-

The EDGERTON

"L-TERE is an unusual bit of good American bungalow
^ J- designing; we think that this plan is one of the
''gems" of the book. Again, with this one it is possible
for a young couple to build the first floor complete and
finish and furnish the second floor later — for you must
note that our blueprints call for two bedrooms on
the second floor.

What makes this plan so popular is the living room
extending clear across the front, the size being 13x23.
This is unusual in a house of this type. If you want a
good place to entertain your friends, you will be well
satisfied. If you have quite a little furniture, this is
surely just the plan for you.

There are four rooms, including a bedroom down'
stairs, with bathroom too. This is sufficient for a start,
but finish up the two bedrooms upstairs when you
build if you can, for they will always be useful.

The CAMBRIDGE

A PLAIN and dignified design— always popular.
You will find this in more or less varied forms
everywhere. But this one is featured by the brick
veneer to the second story, which with the uniquely
designed doorway give it somewhat of an English
character.

The house is well fitted for the couple who are just
starting their housekeeping, for there is one bedroom
on the first floor, and the plans call for two more on
the second — which may be finished off later if the
mortgage payments and interest seem to be a little
heavy at first. The plan itself is surely most conven-
iently arranged — center hallway, a compact kitchen
with lots of cabinet space, and breakfast nook. And a
broom closet and linen closet are provided off the
center hall. There is a vestibule and coat closet, and
don't miss seeing the china cabinet off the dining room.
A corner cabinet or buffet may also be included in the
dining room to give additional storage space.

The TREWALD

VERY often a small com'
pact house is desirable
— one which offers many of
the conveniences of a larger
home but with a small capital
investment. The Trewald
gives a home of good char'
acter, an interior of modern
design, and a moderate initial
cost.

Note that the two main
rooms face the front, giving
the best part of the house
for living quarters.

Our blue prints show two
large bed roomsonthe second
floor; however, the second
floor can be finished at a later
date if desired. The arrange'
ment of the stairway and
center hall makes easy access
from all parts of the house.
The color scheme for the
exterior best suited for this
type is silver gray shingles, or white siding with a roof of light brown shin'
gles. The blinds should be a dark green. Evergreen shrubs and correctly
planted perennials will add to the appearance; landscaping will be quite
desirable and will make the property more saleable in case of necessity.

in line, which means
economy. The kit-

The ASHLAND

THERE is no question but that the financing of a
home is the factor that decides the home building
question for thousands of peo'
pie. It is surprising to find
how many people are willing
to mortgage their future for
the sake of owning a home.

With no attempt to add ex-
pense to the lines or external
appearance, this plan gives the
maximum living quarters on a
small investment. When econ-
omy is paramount, the Ash-
land should be seriously con-
sidered.

The living and dining room,
facing front, make spacious
and pleasant rooms for the
family. The side door entrance
gives access to the other rooms
without going through the
house. The arrangement of the
stairs and bath room allows
for the economy of a half base-
ment.

Homes of this kind should
avoid strong color on the ex-

terior. All white siding or light brown shingles
white trimming would be appropriate.

The WYNNE

ALIGHT green roof, white siding, olive colored shutters,
the fine porch railings painted black, and white win'
dow shades would impart real beauty and a dignified refine'
ment to this cottage. Darker colors and a cream siding would
give it a welcoming warmth. A vine trellis on either side
of the porch in place of the shrubbery would add a different
sort of charm. This house being four feet wider than the
Enderlin, takes a slightly wider lot, but not being quite as
deep it leaves more backyard space for a fenced in children's
playground if traffic is heavy and the children are young.

The living room has a fireplace and sufficient wall space
for furniture. The front room adjoining can be used either
for a library or music room. The wall space will accommodate
a grand piano or an upright, or it could be lined with book'
cases. Whether used as a music room or a study retreat, this
room would be improved by sound deadening insulation in
walls and ceiling. The absence of a porch roof makes living
room and library lighter.

The second floor, large enough for three rooms, could be
finished off as one large room if so desired.

The basement of a bungalow, of course, is large enough
for a laundry and drying room, or even possibly a card room.
Here the basement has an extra outside entrance at the rear.

The ENDERLIN

HERE is another home in truly American style, a semi-bungalow
with a friendly front porch and a charm that will grow even
more homelike as shrubbery and perhaps an ornamental tree or so
grow up. The side steps of the porch give an effect of privacy to
both porch and front door.

This cottage is ideal for a bride and groom or for a young couple
just getting established in life. The modern young wife will
appreciate the convenience of living on one floor, for with house
work thus reduced to a minimum she will have more time for
other interesting activities.

The small family can easily expand to the second floor as chil'
dren need more room. Or if desired, a second floor room can be
finished off for a sewing room or study, or a guest room or two.
Piping could be installed when the house is built, for a second
floor bathroom to be finished off later.

The kitchen location is unique. Its easy access to all other rooms
in the house make a very convenient place for the broom closet,
and the storage of dust cloths, cleaning fluids and vacuum cleaner.

The bedrooms each have cross ventilation and plenty of win'
dows. They are nicely cut off from the rest of the house to insure
privacy.

The house only 24 feet wide goes nicely on a narrow city lot.

The GLENCOE

THIS bungalow offers accommodations for the family of large
or medium size. With three bedrooms at the rear, the
medium sized family can enjoy the great convenience and the
easy housework of living on one floor. The rooms above provide
storage space; as children grow up and need more space for play
room, study, or work shop, the attic above can be partitioned
off into three attractive, comfortable rooms.

The large family can build this house with three rooms and a
bath upstairs and six rooms below. Another suite upstairs may
be fitted up for a separate part of the family.

This house will have plenty of room on a forty foot lot, al'
though it calls for a fairly deep lot. Its large size makes steam
or hot water heat preferable.

Until recent years practically all of our good home archi"
tectural styles have been borrowed from Europe — except for
the Colonial styles which were all developed here. The Glencoe,
however, is proof that we have developed a new and truly
American style. The front porch, the outdoor living room is a
purely American institution. The low sweeping roof lines and
the pleasing design give this house an air of dignity, comfort
and friendliness, a desirable combination for any home.

The whole house is planned for convenience, easy house-
work, privacy and permanence.

THE plain simplicity of this bungalow sug'
gests the French Cottage type of architec-
ture. Such a cottage placed among the usual
more ornate bungalows would form a pleasing
contrast with its neighbors Or set off by itself

The living room fireplace and the breakfast
nook make it as cozy inside as it looks from the
street. The breakfast nook convenience, the
linen closet handy to bath and bedrooms, the
wall cabinets in the kitchen save many steps
and give the housewife plenty of time for other
interests.

The folding stairway to the attic is out of
the way except when in use, and the full-size

The RAYMOND

THERE are many who long for a brick exterior.
There are many cities where brick is very popular,
and there are other cities where none but fireproof
materials are permitted — which practically means
nothing but brick. The Raymond is characteristic of
the small brick bungalow, and will surely satisfy the
pride of those who want something small but very
good in a bungalow of brick. It is an excellent example
of what may be done with brick for the small home
builder. It is a house that will "wear well," of good
lines, and distinctive for all of its simplicity. Orna'
mentation — there is almost none, yet each unit, gables,
porch, windows is so well designed and so well com-
bined, that the whole is pleasing; more so perhaps than
many a more elaborate structure.

The plan shows five rooms, though there is more
room on the second floor. In this, the two bedrooms
are at the rear.

The MARSHALL

HERE is a design for the home owner who desires
good substantial construction, good arrangement
and a pleasing elevation without building a cumber'
some home. Due to the many tones and colors of brick
on the market, the builder will have a lot of satisfaction
and pleasure in making his choice.

Our floor plans call for rooms on the first floor only,
but there is sufficient room for two bedrooms and
toilet upstairs. The stairway leads up from the front
vestibule. There is a unique arrangement for a coat
closet off the living room, and near the vestibule.
Otherwise, the plan is similar to the usual bungalow
layout, which is one of the best, with the two bed
rooms with bath between well isolated from the rest of
the house.

Downstairs, the living room is of a si2;e larger than
usual in a bungalow of this size, though the front bed-
room is about as small as is permitted in most cities.
The kitchen is of good si^e too, and has more than the
usual storage space.

makes it possible to have the rooms slightly larger
than some of the bungalows illustrated on the
following pages. And another feature is the front
porch, which may or may not be screened. It will
take a lot wider than 30 feet.

Otherwise, it is the conventional bungalow plan,
with living room, dining room and kitchen in line,
on one side and the two bedrooms with bath be'
tween, on the other side. Its simplicity of construe
tion will coiiimend this well planned bungalow to
prospective builders and to building contractors
and realtors. Living accommodations will surely be
satisfactory to most small families.

The WASHBURN

HERE is a home of pronounced artistic merit that
is a beautiful example of Colonial bungalow de-
signing. Wide siding has been used, but silver grey
shingles laid five inches to the weather would be equally
as appropriate. It is delightfully attractive in architec
tural hnes, but it calls for nothing difficult in construc-
tion that would increase the cost.

You will naturally expect an equally good interior
arrangement in this home, and looking at the floor
plans, you will not be disappointed. The plan is some-
what different from the regular 24x36 bungalow. One
bedroom is in front with the other in the rear. There
is a fair si^ed living room with light on two sides, and
wall space well planned for furniture. The coat closet
is off the living room, and you must not fail to see the
, china closet off the dining room, and the convenient
broom closet and linen closet in the hall. Both bed
jL^ooms have cross ventilation and closets.

The STILES

THIS little stucco bungalow is a charming one —
with an air of distinction, for it will stand out in
a block full of bungalows. It is somewhat English in
character, though of course considerably American'
ized. The efforts of our architect to design something
that would be unusual, and still practical and attrac
tive, we believe have been successful.

The living room is roomy, and from the exterior,
looks somewhat like a sun parlor. Indeed, since it
has three windows in front and two on the side it is
well lighted and airy. The vestibuled entrance is also
a feature which deserves special mention. The en'
trance may be directly into the living room if you
prefer. Five rooms are included, well arranged with
respect to one another, all of which except the living
room open into the hall.

If you wish something different, and still intensely
practical, you will not be disappointed if you build
this. And it will be a worthy object on which you
may spend a little time on shrubbery and flower
planting.

The FARGO

THIS is a conventional floor plan layout — one
which has been built over and over again
because it has so many advantages. The living
room, dining room and kitchen are in line; the
two bedrooms with bath between are on the
other side, and there is storage space above with
a stairway leading to it. Furthermore, the size
is the well known "24x36," so popular because
it provides five rooms of good size, all modern
conveniences all on one floor, all rooms full
height, and because of the rectangular form, it is
economical to construct.

There are no frills in this design — it is all
"house", and the owner will take considerable
pride in showing it to his friends as an example
of what can be done for a minimum expenditure.
True, there are a number of bungalows every-
where like this one, but it only proves their
popularity.

The BARTLETT

THE simple lines and coz,y like appearance are
the chief characteristics of this little bunga'
low. It is built low, but this merely enhances its
looks and makes it all the more desirable to own.
Combine this with the fact that it can be most
economically built, and we doubt if you can
find anything better in a small unassuming place
that will make a greater impression. The floor
plans follow the usual bungalow practice which
can hardly be improved upon and which afford
very comfortable living quarters. There are five
rooms which include two bedrooms. One dis'
dinctive feature, however, is the alcove which
has much to recommend it — it may be used as a
den or study room, music room or library.

The TYLER

ENHANCING in its quaintness, this house is
sure to fall into immediate popularity be'
cause it is well planned, very attractive and
"cozy looking." It accentuates that thought
"this is home." and clearly expresses the feeling
of comfort that is so desired in a home.

The not unusual floor plan is practical and
offers two bedrooms downstairs. There is an
abundance of wardrobe and linen space, with
additional space for storage upstairs. If desired
the cased opening between the living room and
dining room may be changed to include book'
cases, or a colonnade effect with china storage
space, or two corner cabinets may be added in
the dining room to give just that added touch of
convenience.

A feature of the living room is the extra
amount of window space on the front wall, and
two additional windows on the side wall, so
there will be an abundance of light. This bunga-
low has the advantage of just a little more ground
area than the ordinary one of 24' x 36', and there
fore the rooms are just slightly larger.

The EARLE

A HOME need not be large or expensive to be attractive. In
fact almost any family in earnest about owning a home can
build one of good architectural style and yet within their means.

A good safe rule in financing a home is to set the upper limit
at two and a half times your annual income. If you have a family,
two year's income may be all you can easily pay; if a large family,
even less. For those whose incomes are small, the modest frame
bungalow is usually just about right. The Earle with its high roof
and plenty of second floor space makes a comfortable home; yet
it will go easily on a thirty foot lot, — an economy where land is
expensive.

The front porch adds a homelike atmosphere to the place. Brown
shingles on the upper story, white siding below with chocolate
trimmings make a good color combination. Shrubbery set around
the porch will offset the appearance of height.

The family requiring only two bedrooms can live all on one
floor at a considerable saving in housework. Then, as is the case
of many of our bungalows, additional bed rooms may be finished
off later on the second floor. The rooms are of fair size with
good closets for the bedrooms. The chimney in the kitchen
corner can accommodate a wood or coal stove, which makes
the plan suitable wherever there is no gas. The interior can
be made just as attractive as the outside.

The BEISSEL

EVEN without a tile roof, the low roof lines and the plain
white walls suggest Italian style. Decorations over the
door and front windows and the brick work on the chminey
give an air of gay vivacity which would be shown better in
colors. This cheerful note is unmarred by heavy dormers,
cornices or other heavy features.

The interior can be made fully as attractive as the exterior.
The fireplace lends a friendly warmth to start with, and the
home maker's personal tastes will determine the rest. Nicely
decorated, the home is ideal for entertainment. The living
room IS large and its nearness to dining room and kitchen
make the serving of refreshments easy. The bathroom walls,
however, should be well insulated to deaden the sound.

Here again we have a small step-saving kitchen, the de-
light of the modern housewife. She will appreciate its easy
access to the side door and the basement room where her
vegetables and preserves are stored.

Privacy for bedrooms is obtained by their rear position
with no rear entrance. In fact all the interior arrangements
co-ordinate to give a compact, comfortable home, as con-
venient as it is attractive.

The Beissel is an economical home to build, and its good
architectural lines, and its home-like charm make it an easy
house to sell if the "ship comes in" and a larger house is
wanted.

The ANTWERP

Home's not merely four square walls

Tho with pictures hung and gilded
Home is where affection calls

Where its shrine the heart has builded.

THE humble cabin was dear to him as the home of his child-
hood," and home is "a place of affection, peace, and rest, a
congenial abiding place."

These quotations were taken from Webster's dictionary to show
the real meaning of home as distinguished from house which is a
mere dwelling place, whether dear to the heart or not. Year after
year the home of your own becomes more dear to the hearts of all
who live there. It becomes home in the truest sense of the word.

If home is a place of peace and rest, it should be secure. The burden
of debt should not be too heavy. Nor should the payments be so
large as to threaten loss of the home, when ordinary misfortunes
befall. The Antwerp then, is an ideal low cost bungalow for the
family with a modest income. It has five rooms on the first floor,
including two bedrooms, and space for three additional rooms on
the floor above. It will fit a narrow lot, — another real economy
where city lots are high in price.

This bungalow should avoid curved lines and heavy cornices.
Finished in soft colors, and landscaped with shrubbery, it can be
made very attractive. :3d ■

The LANCASTER

MANY folks living in an apartment would
find a little bungalow like this much
better living, and certainly more private. Be-
cause of its small size, it should be very econom-
ically built, and it will be large enough for the
young couple for several years. Like the Living'
stone design, the dining nook replaces the dining
room, thereby leaving suflScient space for two
bedrooms. The living room is of good size, and
there is a side grade entry. The second floor
would have space for additional rooms if requir-
ed.

The exterior suggests the English type bunga-
low because of the peak and graceful slope over
the doorway. The design comes under the classi-
fication of the cottage type and can be made
very attractive and homelike, without a great
deal of expense.

The WESTBROOK

THE excellent plan of this five room bungalow has many unusual
features. Truly an American design, its white pillars, window
shutters, and wide shingle siding suggest the Colonial. So good are
the proportions and architectural lines that it may be built of brick
or finished in stucco or wood siding with equally good effect. The
builder can choose exterior materials to harmonize with the neighbor'
ing homes and to please himself.

The large living room across the front with its big
open fireplace and five windows make the interior as
attractive and homehke as the exterior. There is plenty
of room for comfortable chairs, and a davenport might
well be placed before the fireplace. The family socially
inclined will appreciate the ample space for card tables.
Moreover, a full length basement in this forty foot
house offers ample space for a recreation room, a work'
shop, or a drying room for clothes.

The other rooms are modest in size and well Hghted
by windows. The kitchen has easy access to the grade
rear entrance and to the basement rooms.

Green shingles should be avoided on the roof; the
one-story house does not carry this color successfully
so close to the ground. A light brown or mingled
colors are most appropriate. The general design of this
house calls for something of a lawn on the porch side,
hence a corner lot or a forty or fifty foot lot is highly
desirable.

The BRYDEN

As you pass by on the highway you will look twice at this trim
-^^- little house. What gives it that peculiar charm? The trellises
and window box? The little decorative figures on the eaves and
below the front windows? Or the inviting porch and entryway?
Those features all help, of course, but back of it all are the pleasing
proportions of the house itself and simplicity of design.

This house might well be finished in stucco, in which case the
porch column and outer porch walls should be built of stone. A
brick veneer finish would give a different sort of charm, forming a
nice contrast between the green shrubbery and the white trellis
work, and in winter a contrast with the snow. Since the keynote
of the design is simplicity and the roof has no decorative projec'
tions, plain asphalt or cedar shingles would be most appropriate.

The rear grade door is a handy entrance to both kitchen and
basement. A rear porch might be built, although it seems hardly
necessary.

As dormers, projections and odd shapes are expensive to build,
the simple Bryden is most economical. The builder of the Bryden
can clear off the mortgage in fewer years and have more time to
save for his children's education and his own independence, en'
joying meanwhile the pride of owning such a home.

FIVE ROOMS, 22 X 38 FT.

The NEWCASTLE

THIS bungalow is just about right for the family of two children
or less. Four bedrooms are possible here, two on each floor. The
couple whose children have grown up and struck out for themselves
will have spare rooms when the children come back home for a visit.
One room may be used as a den or sewing room overlooking the
garden in the backyard.

The young couple with one or two children will find this home
ideal. If the children are very young, they can sleep in one room. The
upstairs rooms can be left unfinished for a few years, at a saving of
interest. A bedroom and a play room on the second floor can be made
very comfortable.

Note some of the interior features. The chimney gomg up through
the kitchen makes possible a coal or wood burning kitchen range.
Sound deadening insulation is usually desired in bathroom walls. It
may be omitted here, or if installed, it will be doubly effective because
the bathroom is completely isolated from the dining and living rooms.
The fairly large living room, the vestibule, and the coat closet are
also desirable.

This bungalow, being simple in shape and roof lines is inexpensive
to build, easy to heat, and economical to keep in repair. It will go on
a narrow city lot. It should be finished in stucco with perhaps a
pebble dash. Shrubbery around the foundation will offset the appear-
ance of height, and will greatly add to the value of the property.

FIVE ROOMS, 22 X 36 FT.

The DAYTON

UNLIKE the Westbrook the Dayton will slip nicely in between
two other bungalows. A thirty foot lot gives it plenty of room;
in fact its very compactness and substantial appearance call tor a
small lot Two adjacent bungalows on thirty foot lots could have a
common driveway between them, and perhaps a two car garage.

The style of the Dayton is modern American. Heavy markings in
the stucco finish should be avoided, as they are characteristic of
Spanish and ItaHan styles. A pebble dash will relieve the plainness.
The clipped gables give an air of snugness, the wide overhanging
eaves and the inviting charm of the front entryway make a most
attractive bungalow.

For a color scheme we suggest warm ochre walls, gray trim and a

brown roof. „ r i

This house for a small lot makes a cozy bungalow for a small lami y
with a small income. Two rooms on the upper floor must necessarily
be rather small. The absence of dormers and other irregular projec-
tions however, make the house very economical to build.

The position of bedrooms and bath on one side of the house secures
■nnvacy The small modern kitchen saves steps and is most convenient.
The location of the chimney makes possible a wood or coal stove in
the kitchen. The Hving room is the largest room in the house, as it
should be, with ample wall space for bookcases and other turniture.

For comfort, convenience, easy housework, and low cost of both
building and upkeep, this bungalow is ideal.

The LIVINGSTONE

' I 'HE demands of the family with a very Hmited
J- capital may be taken care of in this very attractive
little home. It will be found admirable for the modest
builder, for it is a neat and compact building and
contains nothing that will create undue expense, ex'
cept perhaps the front screened porch. It is a co2;y
little place, a favorite type among builders of small
homes and is ideal for a young couple.'

It contains a living room, two bedrooms and kitchen.
The dining nook, like the Lancaster design, is used in
lieu of the dining room to save space.

The kitchen is surely just as convenient as any,
though small. There are good closets and most con'
veniences are provided that help to make a comfort'
able home. The screened porch is a feature that will
appeal to many.

-^ THE BOOK OF 100 HOMES <J^

rhe DUVAL

SMALL, compact, simple in design and with a simple hip
roof, this bungalow is most economical to build; yet it does
have one extravagance, a front porch. Many home builders prefer
to economise elsewhere than to give up that great American
institution often called "the out-door living room." The brick
columns on the porch corners give a touch of color and add much
to the attractiveness of the exterior.

The rooms are conveniently arranged with easy access to one
another. In the kitchen we have a chimney and a recess for the
stove. The platform next the rear entrance is an ideal position for
the refrigerator; the ice chamber can be filled from the outside.
At grade level the rear entrance communicates directly with the
basement. Note how fully the space around the bathroom is
utilized.

There is room in the basement for heating plant, coal bin,
laundry and a workshop or recreation room. The latter room
nicely finished and floored with wood can be just as comfortable
and attractive as any room in the house.

This house will fit a small city lot. Its homelike appearance, low
cost of construction and other features explain its popularity.

FOUR ROOMS, 24 X 28 FT.

The KINGWOOD

HERE is a low cost bungalow for the narrow city lot.
Like others of this general si2;e, it will go nicely on a
short lot. Or, with a lot of usual length it leaves ample
room for flower and vegetable growing. Where this type of
building is desired, the Kingwood will make a very good
investment.

The front porch is a most desirable feature. Vines trellised
all the way up the sides will give it summer shade and a
measure of privacy. Shrubbery or vines are needed to dress
up the front.

The dining room which can be used as a bedroom makes
the plan flexible to suit varying conditions. Two additional
rooms may be added on the second floor, and of course the
basement will accommodate both laundry and workshop.
The house has plenty of closets and a broom cabinet handy
to both stairs and kitchen.

Simplicity of design is the keynote of this modest cottage,
and its coziness is at once apparent.

THREE ROOMS, 22 X 24 FT.

The MARTIN

THOUSANDS of people— yes millions of
people live in three room apartments. If they
only knew of the joys of living in their own
homes, they would never go back to an apart'
ment, for in your own home, you do at least have
privacy. The investment in a home of this type
isn't very great and interest charges and amortiz;'
ation of the loan wouldn't be a burden.

As is usual in three-room bungalows, the
living room is often used as the dining room; but
in the Martin there is sufficient room so that
many meals can very comfortably be served in
a corner of the kitchen. There can be included
just as many modern conveniences as will be
found in more pretentious homes — and if so
furnished can never be called a "cheap" place,
and will surely prove admirable for a young
couple with modest means.

THREE ROOMS AND DINETTE, 20 X 22 FT.

The MONTROSE

' I 'HIS plan of a small house has followed our
-L apartment house layouts by including a kitchen'
ette and diner; it stands out as an example of what
can be done for very little cash outlay, still provid-
ing comfortable living accommodations. With the
plumbing concentrated, the cost is reduced consid-
erably. This house would not require a basement.
We would recommend a solid masonry foundation,
as it will keep house warmer and avoid free2;ing.

This design is the smallest in our book of plans;
but, it is large enough for a couple to live in very
comfortably. A well kept lawn and shrubbery cor-
rectly planted will go a long way toward making the
Montrose look as well as many bungalows of larger
size.

INCOME BUNGALOW, TEN ROOMS 26 X 39 FT.

rhe ANSONIA

A HOME with one part set
aside for the use of another
family gives the owner an income
and thus reduces his living ex-
penses. The two family flat has
long been used for this purpose;
it is only recently that the "in-
come bungalow" has appeared.
The Ansonia is a good example
of this latter type. The exterior
has pleasing lines, the wide siding
painted white with gray green
shutters adds to the appearance.
The entrance is through a ves-
tibule in common for both fam-
ilies. The living room and dining
room are large and roomy, with
good si^ed windows. The bed
rooms, with bath in between
make an ideal arrangement. The
chimney is carried up through
the kitchen. At the rear is a
stairway leading to the upper
apartment. Each family has a rear
porch. The basement has a door
at grade level.

INCOME BUNGALOW, 24 X 38 FT.

The WE STL AWN

THE income bungalow is becoming very popular,
as rent from the upper floor carries a good part of
the financial burden. Two parts of the same family will
find both privacy and economy in this kind of a home.
The bungalow style exterior gives no suggestion of a
two apartment home. Both families use the same front
and side entries.

The bedrooms and bath in the rear are well lighted
and easily ventilated. The kitchen, centrally located is
handy to the entire floor, and has easy access to side
door and basement. The small illustration of the
Westby shows a similar house, floor plan reversed and
with a different exterior. Either house is a safe invest'
ment and a salable proposition, particularly in cities
where lots are expensive.

DUPLEX, TEN ROOMS, 25 X 46 FT.

The CONCORD

WHEN you look at this illustration you
cannot but help Hking this exterior, for
it appeals to you at once. It has that something
of distinction in design, unexplainable by the
layman. The details of English style have been
used to good advantage. The timbered walls
and stucco finish are well in keeping with the
details.

The interior has five rooms on each floor, the
arrangement of which are clearly followed on
the plan. The front entrance shows separate
doorways; if desired, one door could be used,
providing a partition be carried on first floor
across end of living room. This would give a
mutual vestibule, with hall on first floor leading
to the kitchen. The door from kitchen, direct to
front part of house is a convenient feature of
this plan.

TWELVE ROOMS AND SUN ROOM, 2? X 50 FT.

The POMEROY

WE have selected this plan of a two family building for its dignity
and refinement. Frame construction for such a large building must
be dealt with carefully. Note the pleasing Colonial lines of the front
elevation, the nice balance preserved by the front porch on one side,
and the chimney on the other.

This house should be painted white. A green roof will be most ap-
propriate; the red brick chimneys and the touch of red brick at the porch
corner will give just enough color to set off the whole ensemble. No other
colors or trimmings will be effective. Evergreen shrubbery, however, is
most desirable to maintain color balance in winter.

The interior has three bedrooms, which are as well separated from the
rest of the house as if they were on another floor. Young children can
retire early and be undisturbed by radio music or entertainment going
on in the front rooms. The large dining and living rooms, the comfortable
fireplace and the sun room make an ideal home for entertaining. The
kitchen is convenient for the serving of refreshments. A vestibule gives
privacy, and a coat closet, convenience.

This Colonial duplex, with its beautiful exterior and a well arranged,,
modern interior will be most attractive to tenants. It will assure a con-
tinuous income and be always a good investment.

POil[RPY ^

TEN ROOMS, 25 X 44 FT.

The GRATIOT

THE duplex costs less to build, less to heat and less to keep in good
repair than two separate houses of the same accommodations. Hence
the great popularity of the duplex. The owner frequently lives in one
part and receives a good income from the other. Except for front porch
and terrace the second floor plan is the same as the first.

The interior arrangement is modern in every respect. The central
location of the kitchen is most convenient. The bedrooms at the rear
are well segregated from the living quarters; all have cross ventilation.
The busy housewife will appreciate the dust porch. The large living
room with its entertainment possibilities will appeal especially to those
who are socially inclined.

Well balanced architectural design, and rugged brick walls with green
shutters and white slab trimmings give the Gratiot an air of distinction.
These features should be matched by such refinements as high quality
flooring and millwork, tasteful decoration, a kitchen cabinet, plenty of
baseboard plugs, and other modern conveniences. With no bedroom for
a maid, the housework should be reduced to a minimum.

To attract and hold tenants the house must have a thoroughly modern
interior as well as a pleasing exterior.

A Work Bench in No. 5

EVERY man likes to have a work bench where he can make
small household and car repairs; Garage 5, fourteen feet
wide, has room enough. It has also more room for storage of lawn
and garden tools and car accessories. Oil cans under the bench
and a tool cabinet on the wall above would be out of the way.
Even a sink might be placed in the corner. Half the space above
the car could be floored for winter storage of screens, lawn
mower, garden hose, etc.

To Beautify the Grounds

You build a home that better
suits your taste, your purse, and
your family needs than any house
you could buy. You move in. You begin
to see possibilities for beautifying the
grounds.

After all, you realise the house occu'
pies only about half or a third of the
ground area, and the rest is the setting
for the house. The place looks rather
bare, nothing but a lawn and a tree or
two. Yet there's plenty of space for
growing things, some shrubbery next
the house, vines, roses, a window box,
an ornamental tree, --Space, too, for
growing boys and girls.

Over the garden path you'll have a
vine covered pergola or will it be a
trellised rose arch? Around the tree a
seat where the busy gardener can rest
and survey her work. As for clothes
posts, since you must have them, they
might as well be of beautiful design that
will add rather than detract from the
back yard appearance.

A lawn settee will prove a delightful
place to sit in summer time, and plain
simple porch furniture suggests a soci-
able summer afternoon with iced lemon-
ade or tea in tinkling glasses and trellis-
ed porch vines all a-bloom.

To which his neighbor a fond dad countered, "Well, how can a boy
grow up in the right and normal way without a dog?"
They answered both questions, each with a fence surrounding his yard.
Not just a plain ordinary utility fence that would keep their backyards
apart, but a thing of beauty that brought the two men together in friend-
ship.

For the gardener it kept out all the dogs of the neighborhood, and it
formed a white contrast with his vari-colored blooms. In the other yard
it kept boy, dog and young friends at play safely fenced from trattic.

The owned home is the greatest of all mediums for self expression.
Man and wife are free to add improvements, to decorate the interior,
and to beautify the grounds according to their own desires and tastes.
As years roll by their home becomes an ever more complete expression
of themselves, and their home ties grow deeper and stronger. We will
be glad to offer further suggestions for lawn and garden miUwork.

Without sacrificing anything in the way of sound construction or architectural beauty you

may he able to save one or tivo thousand dollars in the cost of your home by omitting the

least necessary features.

How Much to Pay for a Home

rent. They could then afford to
pay not more than $75 per
month toward home ownership.
Roughly two- thirds of this sum, or
$50 per month, should be allowed
for mortgage payments; that
would allow for a $5000 loan.

The remaining third, or $25
per month should be regularly
banked to meet insurance, taxes,
special assessments, repairs,
painting (once in every four or
five years) and other items of
upkeep.

Those who pledge too much of
their income must often sacrifice
many things that make life worth
while, vacations, a car, a radio,
music lessons or higher education
for the children. Some must be
sacrificed, of course, for the
greater satisfaction of home own-
ership. Moreover every family
will meet with some misfortunes
and emergencies.

Build a home if you can. Mil-
lions are doing it, but follow
these simple rules and build safely within your means.
The above rules for figuring the cost are very general.
Our building service department will help you arrive at
the right price to pay for your house.

Where to Economize

Let us first see where not to economize. Build a house that
is big enough, one that has all the bedrooms your family
will need. Build the style of a home you want and add the
features you desire most.

Architects plans and working drawings will save you
more than they cost and so will insulation. Employ a good
reliable contractor even if he charges a little higher than
one of doubtful reputation. Also avoid cheap, shoddy
materials; demand good sound building materials through'
out.

Observing these rules you figure the cost of the house
you want to build, with many desirable features. Then if
necessary you may be able to save $500, $1000 or even
more by eliminating the least necessary features.

If you had planned on a bungalow perhaps a two-story
house of the same accommodations will do. It will cost
much less to build. The sun porch or the fireplace might be
omitted to be added later. Non bearing partitions might
be omitted from the basement. The attic room might be
left unfinished until later.

Shingle or narrow siding might take the place of wide
siding, brick or stucco. Plainer grades of hardwood floors
will be just as serviceable as the more beautiful finer
grades. The roofing need not be the everlasting asbestos,
slate or tile; let the next generation reshingle. Our build-
ing service man can suggest still other economies.

MILLIONS of American families are enjoying all
the benefits of home ownership while easily
paying off the mortgage. Thousands are doomed
to lose their homes and savings for building too expensive-
ly, while other thousands go on grinding out joyless lives
trying to pay off mortgages that are far too heavy. On
the other hand we shall never know how many millions
are missing all the joys of home ownership, not realising
they could afford to build.

Good authorities on home financing recommend that a
man pay between 1 % and 23^ times the amount of his
annual income for house and lot. That is, the $1800 man
should pay between $3000 and $4500 for his home,
whereas the $3000 man can afford between $5000 and
$7500. The man of large family needs more of his income
for clothing, food, etc., and should stay near the lower
limits, whereas the man with only a wife to support
might well pay the upper limit.

It is usually advisable to pay down at least one-fifth of
the total cost of house and lot. As the lot itself should be
worth about one-fifth of the total cost, one can afford to
build about as soon as his lot is paid for. The larger the
down payment, the better.

Another V/ay to Figure

The usual way to pay off the mortgage loans is to pay off
about 1% of the original loan per month for that purpose.
On a debt of $4000, the family should set aside at least
$40 per month for principal and interest until the loans
are cleared. If the mortgages amount to $6500, the family
should save at least $65 per month to amortize them.

Suppose a family has proved its ability to save $20 per
month, winter and summer, while paying ^55 per month
