A Housing Suggestion
The above picture is that of an all modern stucco and
frame bungalow of four rooms, the interior wood trim is
hard pine with oak borders in floors of living and dining
rooms. It is heated with an Areola hot water system. The
feature of this bungalow is that it has a Murphy bed closet
which makes it practically a five room house. This bungalow
can be built at a cost of approximately $3,000.00. 1 will
be pleased to go into the details more fully with interested
parties. Complete plans and specifications are on file ;
