No. 1108-A The style of this home conforms to the general type of the ever popular bungalow, with a simple gable roof, made interesting by the gable on the side. The treatment of the porch, however, is unusual The columns give an impressive dignity to the whole home. The wide porch and overhanging eaves give the impression of sincerity, hospitality and comfort. The vestibule prevents cold winter winds from blowing into the living room whenever the front door is opened. The coat closet opening into the vestibule is the ideal arrangement This leaves room for a fine closet for the front bedroom.
