Compact Convenience
If you have a wide lot or a corner lot, you can get an unusual com
bination of elements of convenience in this roomy 5-room home; com
pactly arranged, on a foundation only 35x38 feet. It is very unusual
to find your bedrooms and bathroom opening into a single hall to
provide complete privacy for the sleeping rooms from the living portion.
The bedroom next to the kitchen could be used for a maid’s room,
although anyone would be glad to have it. You Will notice that you can
go directly through this room from the kitchen to the hall.
The simple attractive lines of the exterior, decorated by the trellis
work, will give a wonderfully homey effect that is carried out by the
convenience within.
You can get working drawings for this home from the Grove com
pany, 222 Bankers Reserve Life Bldg., from which the home can be built
economically and quickly, exactly as showm.
