A Six Room Home FIUT flOOL pLAH â /ECOND flOOK P L A fl A six-room, gambrel-roofed house that is an excellent example of the Dutch Colonial type of architecture is shown on this page. It suggests compactness and comfort and can be erected, according to the estimates of the Home Owners' Service Institute for between $6,500 and $7,500. It is a house adapted to a lot of forty-foot front or less. As designed it has an exterior finish of siding, which con- tinues around the porch except under the columns supported by field masonry piers.

It is pointed out, also, that a striking combination could be achieved by building the lower storey exterior of dark red brick, with wood siding above for second storey Stucco would also be effective for the first storey.

Complete plans for this house can be obtained upon application to the Home Owners' Service Institute, 37 West 39th Street, New York, N. Y.

One enters the house into an ample hall with an open stair- way leading to the second floor. The particular housewife will observe that access from the kitchen to the front hall is directly through a passageway rather than through various rooms. Popular open fireplace is located at an angle in the living room. There are wide-cased openings from both hall and dining-room. French doors could be used in either or both if desired. The dining-room is nearly square, with ample wall space for all nec
