in this house to ask for forgiveness it will not be— the way of others passing
shoots a look the dining room another question— the dining room that is time
time is up the dining room— the dining room was falling— lighted by three
to ask a question by three large windows— opens upon variety opens upon
the side— the side porch hold and two good bedrooms arm arms shown
in the illustration above densely packaged in the illustration above exchanges
between porch shown in the illustration above— the illustration above which
makes it possible— in the kitchen a built-in seat makes it possible use the location
of the stairs as a dining porch— in the morning to do opens upon the side to have
to do makes it possible to ask for forgiveness— the dining room was right at least
one room was wrong and this— to use be used as a dining porch new year
in fine weather there is a recess— a new year or one may be built-in with a
china closet— fate the fate of the world there is a recess to ask to have to ask
or one may be built-in— the second story what is there is a recess to deserve one
fate— with a china closet anything can raise with a china closet to the left
change— in the kitchen a recess is provided extremely rare or one may be built-in
with a china closet past placing one window at the front to ask it is extremely rare
for forgiveness—

an american institution the one in the world the fireplace itself dominates
the famous the fireplace itself dominates there were people hunting for bargains
who asked and this makes it possible rooms construction: tile walls, stucco finish
located asked questions— the fireplace itself walked down the street and is located
in such a position walk down
in such a position
the street and nothing will change and is located
to ask for forgiveness in such a position of course a stairway
from the hall a great deal of mental strain a stairway from the hall to deserve
this— here is a good example waiting here is a good example a friend
the combination of plan and exterior is simple—
the house columns, benches, blinds lived in the fireplace itself dominates and
the money they asked people sitting about the elements people sitting about of chance
in such a position real surprises a good example waiting— in the end columns, benches,
blinds found a stairway from the hall but a stairway from the hall never asked
not disturbed by those passing the right question— the combination of plan and exterior is
simple curiosity charm and simplicity and the violence while close by is a large storage
closet certain performances— people sitting about as the plans show a study the type
for access to the garden they the living room is provided filled people sitting about
bright, cheerful place with joy a stairway from the hall the general style of
the house to deserve such a fate—
the entry undertaken was kind there is thus no framing an excellent example
and the porch shown in this example may be eliminated in this house shown right
true following if only the broad, flat wall surfaces for a moment for these
3
primitive materials could with framing have turned somewhere in the past
had substituted concrete offended G-d blazing hot exactly when— the statement
should have been more sure more forceful on either side of the fireplace if ever
for these primitive materials see the day an excellent example to change which affords
ways which affords a new life— the plan resolves itself this time of awe
particularly well adapted the arrangement of furniture days of repentance this,
with its low flight to reduce costs to deserve this—
in this house we have although
this may be added ask to be forgiven— as does
the wide opening were those stories in the book of the room the first of many times
are equally decorative sat at the table a prize-winning design asked front door
to the kitchen questions— translating the forms was forced between these plans
to look into the world or for the sake of greater economy to live practically never
to die far greater pretensions to ask to place the house meant the sun porch changed
the sun porch may be omitted five principal rooms forced to admit if necessary
the telephone far greater pretensions which is the thing— the telephone the same
design the thing is popular there was something awful the house above noticed
the bag the house above the color because of its individuality the view solid brick
walls dead the house above but bad the house above bad appearance is popular
bad developed for frame construction bad this design has also been developed this
may be added if desired bad—
an open porch will tempt both have two closets even worse
the basement stairway—
4
simply put the kitchen is a model of efficiency tempted generous proportions walk
both have two closets is something— the street in the dining room again
construction, design most awkwardly the arrangement of the roof the way construction,
design this running and if this the basement plan the way may be eliminated—
exceptional beauty this is tile faced be forgiven— but the water stops
is extensive almost ready to pass by enter the room smile the arrangement of
the roof leaving the necessary walls and openings— deserve in this time beauty
to these houses awe— in this time a glass partition awe there is a glass partition
much getting all this the breakfast nook to answer built-in seats and table much
to answer for—

still there are two this there are two the version in the rear entry events that
for the telephone waited long, unbroken wall spaces so necessary whole capacious this
may be added if desired— and a recess a certain someone a certain something
a narrow broom closet in view the kitchen is a closet the wide world the kitchen is a closet
almost hit the two bedrooms in the mouth the two bedrooms something construction:
tile walls— the two bedrooms were vases a narrow broom closet everywhere
and sunshine the two bedrooms all kinds of good the two bedrooms things—
the main entrance tension well-proportioned light located as they are were
things the dining room to remember has been studied belonged and privacy
possible twisted the dining room is only 30 feet wide facing the front— the plan
has been studied here comparatively unimportant details old clothes for example
the dining room is placed the light the side wall the end of the tunnel— the house
is replete enveloped the bedrooms, located there were places on the second floor
to get next to well-proportioned were words the main entrance—
for example flame the modern small home the house right the dining room was
the custom the front wall the modern small home located as they are only listened
and privacy possible in the first place dining room furniture felt none of the straining
for effect the kitchen, dining room construction: stucco over wood frame and the general
massing of the house— the plan has been studied construction world the dining room
facing the front the road how
they did not hesitate also the kitchen in the middle direct
connection the kitchen the day windows along the front violation of every the modern
6
small home and the general massing of the house singing construction principle
undoubtedly the character comes out of everything windows along the front cared
none of the straining for effect there is direct connection—
the design of this house to deserve this and how about a closet bed shaking
and that culture and that road and that— the design has the appearance of being
quite effortless led in the illustration above very far away a closet bed was all
like a dream the smaller bedroom the modern small home the smaller bedroom walls,
openings construction: exterior walls tomorrow construction: exterior walls will note
particularly the downstairs decide a closet bed fate decided construction:
exterior walls nothing fine closet space little palms the design of this house speaks
for itself ears note particularly the downstairs visions the design of this house
may the plan is equally fine may not fifty years from now greeted drawing
of the doorway common to former years then—
immediate circulation here in this design again with lower in consequence head
on lower in consequences wasn’t it cold the way in this design the arrangement
convenient— was sitting an orderly sequence there was nothing there are qualities
pockets— to speak of the front wall the stairway itself a good example was in
the middle the house the article is staple and well known loved what the front wall
wanted to love has been worked out no reason it realizes the full decorative
possibilities— the front wall fine shape however may be used the world colonial
architecture temptation— the front wall was the front wall real joy fair to remain
so indefinitely behold in this design also the way lower in consequence held from
the front door near the second story— in this design stand in the bathroom in
every room hold an easy matter head the front wall wonder the front wall did
7
to deserve may be used pain the entire wall— all the second story out the second
story proportion this type just wanted yet it is one of the most livable
arrangements fun of windows—
this type of architecture a house an enormous bore nothing standardized architecture
heartaches the article is staple shows how fine architecture may be achieved demands
the front wall immediate circulation time— the front wall best refinement of detail tip
refinement of detail the hat this house has been planned the end sound building methods
all this house has been planned other children the design has the appearance of being
quite effortless— the window spacing greenery refinement of detail is of prime importance
the house is carried out the ocean economies in construction the middle construction:
brick veneer on wood the world which gives interest was just the way refinement of
detail said refinement of detail in the first place— the second story windows lived in
the sea the fine appearance of this house construction were trees nearby the tops
of the windows called an interesting treatment over refinement of detail— the hall
serves many uses was a good example no view hall, from which the stair house
the shape of the roof only an enclosure the design has the appearance of being
quite effortless and boys without the shape of the roof father—
the bedrooms in front in love the bedrooms in front are also constructed this way
mother the design has the appearance of being quite effortless belong
to the house something the bedrooms in front again making the porch belong— there
are still some shows how fine architecture may be achieved red the construction of
exterior walls
face the sketch shows effective treatment thought the roof is
of cement whole place going concrete with wood finish smoke there are still some
the plan possesses all the sterling qualities of the center merely to think surprised

other materials may be used—

nothing new nearly fell the steeply pitched roof son get hurt and much
has been made of the entrance feature the steeply pitched roof to ask
the breakfast nook the breakfast nook is exceptionally pleasing the kitchen
then promises— but there were weird anomalies everywhere and why
the breakfast nook is exceptionally pleasing in design the steeply pitched roof
the window— ask but construction: concrete masonry walls how construction:
concrete masonry walls so materialistic stucco finish so judgmental and
what a long day stucco finish a miracle the plan is intelligent, workable here
windows providing light and ventilation— stucco finish home— the plan
is intelligent asked the kitchen, then, promises the wrong question and everything
takes some time concrete masonry wall— what a long way a large bedroom
what a world filled with magic— the plan is intelligent, workable friend folded
back against the wall dead a large bedroom may be finished off a new relationship
concrete masonry wall—
nothing new under the sun is competition in the strangest places
a large bedroom may be finished off to grow shown in the sketch above
what construction became construction: exterior walls the nicest sort of person
not cruel a large bedroom may be finished off except the kitchen then
bad thoughts—
patrolling going from door to door one of the most interesting features still
asking the rear entry permits this archway provides anything— new a home
the accommodations of the kitchen are the ever desirable the broom closet filled
10
to the brim with judgments—
a home one of the most interesting features
from home—
a closed container built into the wall was like the rear entry permits said
from the kitchen be in the first place and very happy great saving in the ice
bill to meet the accommodations of the kitchen— construction: brick or tile walls
situation construction: brick or tile walls dire brick or tile walls, stucco hope
construction the color scheme suggested better construction who knows what
construction: brick or tile walls— limping home at night the accommodations
of the kitchen son brother construction better construction: brick and tile walls
what will a floated finish brick or tile walls or brick exterior with tiled roof
besides what the color scheme suggested for this exterior— not today designs
offers large accommodations wondered if wood frame had to ask a question the plan
calls for five major rooms wondered what construction: brick or tile walls
wanted to bother with construction: brick or tile walls— the wrought iron railing
look up here the owner provided a door look down construction: brick or tile walls
look the chief difference lies in the eye when hot weather comes the refrigerator
behold something the size of the dining room—
new a point and
a purpose—
there are the same number of bedrooms still the plan calls for five major rooms see
is the exterior attractive the kitchen contains a number of conveniences—

the house pictured above then some like finish are the hollow tile the first foray
into the end but its severity is relieved— by projecting lived at night the stairway
inconspicuously become the first one the living room the world beneath the stucco
tell is partially open— also a fireplace may be the walls beneath the first a dining
alcove not the marvel the end of the kitchen not the name look quite well
the middle of the room— the second story the one a dining alcove may exploded
only four rooms asked may be added the wrong questions is partially open all
the house pictured above money a dining alcove may be added shingles may be
employed— most votes would fall was up of pleasant spaciousness fell the first
time the wide plaster arches fell of the hall the second time details— trust iron
railing all gone— the effect is gained all gone iron railing used up for sure—
its simplicity mind give to any house the middle of
charming version
day that took conveniences in this room the top of the road an age the entrance is
simple light the kitchen a year later the entrance is simple up to here
the counter
space to the right of the sink all— home in the world the house presented above
how long the entrance is simple expect changes in materials are not always suitable
last another thing that may mar their beauty— corner cupboards would be charming
asked the question separate living took for a breakfast nook surprise an enclosed
sun room always drawings present alternate details for a better reason—
features of the plan the top the house presented above the list every residential district
the light the kitchen the middle of the room that kept only one of many
conveniences that place commodious cupboards wanted to live a beautiful life
corner cupboards would be charming the fun never stopped only one of many
12
never quit and surrounded never the entrance is simple die— corner cupboards
friend— the plans convenient lived the general design a friday surrounded by shrubbery
lived like the last which gives the house the appearance the world corner cupboards
would be charming taught which give to any house tales taught shrubbery, trees
and the flowers be a good boy the house presented above behave corner cupboards
would be charming the place the entrance is simple mine, mine, mine—
and the flowers and vines knowledge the entrance is simple there were no places
the beauty of these homes no places to stop— the end is near and the flowers and vines
need to know and surrounded by shrubbery then forget the house presented above
out of the bag another thing that may mar their beauty watch as a descendent fall
and enclosed sun room and never cease to amaze at its best when tied closely this
very good end—
but the older and surrounded by shrubbery the better and surrounded know what
to do the chief modification of the style a burden then so be window
and on them mirror corner cupboards would be charming in for a breakfast nook
soul for a breakfast nook the one
the house presented above is charming
who wanted to live corner cupboards would be charming to never crash corner cupboards
would be charming— corner cupboards would be charming
was big business the kitchen
took the same design among the many surprise, the running is identical
with that of design 6-A-72 corner cupboards revolting light and air the revelation
for a breakfast nook this was sin serve their purpose this was if the sun porch
was located at the rear life equally pleasant and effective like with few changes
if and what if and why the advent of central heating settle down to stare built
13
as it should be red let us say, not to exceed the world it will not do hate where it may
gain great headway kill the advent of central heating destroy in the basement
be destroyed from fire a house with a basement—
consideration matters was one in the middle for the heating of people before it is found
on in the middle also since many a fire starts red, red basement where it may gain
great headway— the chief feature of the interior fell off one steps into a small
vestibule hated the time the dining room and kitchen why and kitchen things
is a space different—
the dining room and kitchen times in life construction: frame don’t you see
that the family who has acquired work construction: frame— of the entrance hall
a house this terrace could be roofed a car construction: frame the home frame—
for example the dining room was first in the world construction: frame was the one
the kitchen dining room and living room wanted construction: frame kissed
and kitchen hated construction: frame told frame heaven the kitchen dining room
the rest for example the dining room off the sleeping quarters construction: frame
told the kitchen dining room just sad and the rest where as a matter of fact
a masterpiece construction: frame blood construction: frame design—
construction: frame tell the two bedrooms and bath are arranged get away
the family who has acquired want the kitchen dining room live and for example
the dining room want to tell the drawings position go this one is unusual lost
for example the dining room the home the kitchen the dining room house any part
of this may be enclosed lived the way windows along the front wall lived a porch
is afforded however no reason frame except to bond the living quarters of the house
14
to tell the position of this hall is the mark of good planning the position of this
hall take there is direct connection to the kitchen out also the kitchen red
construction: stucco the room of the walls to never construction: frame never kill
frame— the level of the living room was nothing with descending two steps without
construction: frame—
15

but telling the rear entry permits telling wood frame that was the thought
construction: brick or tile walls when the rear entry permits had construction: brick
or tile walls— a magic place construction: brick or tile walls moistness
and the telling the plan calls for five major rooms go the rear entry permits
hand large accomodations something to make construction: brick or tile walls happy
the color scheme suggested never make construction: brick or tile walls meek
or dependent on anyone else side of the house all construction: brick or tile walls
was just used the owner of the house life construction: brick or tile walls the rear
entry permits death one of the most interesting features the in-between construction: brick
or tile walls to come between the bedroom side of the house construction:
brick or tile walls just one of the most interesting features— from the standpoint of both
economy and space here and what the dining room here construction: hollow
tile walls the hammer the kitchen is of the most modern type might with the rear door
come down— the kitchen is of the most modern type pain construction: hollow
the side and construction: hollow pain construction: hollow the stomach woodwork
will look well grave injustice the color scheme suggested all a lack of
regularity—
the garage although it does not open into the house stuck construction: hollow
this machine came to rescue artificial working over self-imposed oblivion
construction: hollow dimes construction: hollow drops should not appear to be
artful dreams the tile roof of a dark red mission type excitement construction: hollow
the shots variations of color out of the room the tile roof of a dark red mission type
only drawings call for solid brick friend the house illustrated above the rest
16
meant seeing the informal absolutely nothing— but construction: hollow all
has construction: hollow work the dining room separated from the living room in
the end should not appear to be artful—

as for the plan twist the sleeping porch or child's room shapes the size would
be reduced endless culture on the second floor the primitive dance there is a generous
attic did when the handsome fireplace did reached by a stairway in the upper hall—
considerable closet room is provided was a linen closet in the hall loose and a linen
closet end on the second floor falling out a large built-in wardrobe closet room
is provided— the sleeping porch or child's room works however would be reduced
not including a large built-in wardrobe first trip down the size would be reduced—
which access is had face there is a generous attic put there is a generous attic
in framing the opening the home as for the plan nine to nine the size would be
reduced the elements in the upper hall struggle a large built-in wardrobe falling
and if this is provided tell a large built-in wardrobe the truth considerable closet
room is provided—
the long flower box aimed at painted white or light gray took
a picture of a real american home shot painted white or light gray the rest painted
white or light gray nothing however, dining still plays an important part painted white
or light gray— a home painted white or light gray the purse real american home
simplicity of the homes of our forefathers
number one reason in one corner
was full brick fireplace despair painted white or light gray the way from one side
or the other spoken to— gun shot built during the colonial period at home painted
white or light gray you painted white or light gray think lines that are the most
distinctive feature of the design— a home there is also a cozy alcove in one corner
a lion there is also a cozy alcove red running in the middle painted white
or light gray the den painted white or light gray you would be brought into
18
closer harmony— one of the things which give character feel real construction:
6-A-83 doesn’t feel this is the material used home one of the things which give character
from home our american manner of living falling one of the things which give
character outlaws unless the architect recognizes the particular nature of the material
the time the labels that describe them by nationality took one of the things which give
character hate one of the things which give character never unless the architecct
recognizes the particular nature of the material killed—
the plain gable roof of the latter one of course it is futile to say they were one
is the material used outrage construction: 6-A-83 if only this design loved if
we call these houses never jealous the plain gable roof of the latter never spent
and use it because we enjoy its fine exterior time away this design spent away
construction: 6-A-83 will be a way—

the materials change the details pages and pages away unless the architect
recognizes the particular nature of the materials used the middle if the living room
seems deficient this brick fireplace which dominates wanted painted white
or light gray said there is an open terrace extending across the front was going
the kitchen is of the most modern type construction: hollow— in the middle the dining
room separated road the dining room aims the kitchen is of the most modern type— each
part of nature does a bay window is a charming addition dance an appropriate setting
will arise soon an appropriate setting be home safely they give the effect of space
guess— indeed a window of this character finds heart finds an appropriate setting
hears an appropriate setting dance an appropriate setting words the same plans
angel indeed a window the air leads directly to the kitchen the entrance hall
argument air that only a fireplace can give a hold construction: solid brick walls
tension indeed a window of this character the exterior finished brag or boast when made
a part of the room conversation indeed a window call very little space has been
used
out of order— a bay window is a charming addition place comfortable in size

in the small house there are few details more important— a home on the hearth garden
inexpensive houses of this type dead to a certain extent— you may be sure
all the basement could be omitted entirely dreamed it has all of the elements which make
a home comfortable being— hardly—
a home although this house does answer the middle or else when the building is under
way the living room road does not know absolutely what is this version does a home
of fine architectural character said dining room or smaller dining alcove was going
although the floor area of the living room is practically the same in either case—
comparison is simple the house at the right are fewer and fewer characterizing
apartment house units in the house wood frame people certainly reserve the limited
affair implied by three rooms judgment a large fireplace just a thought although
small provides many luxuries deserve rough sawed boards or shingles the house
at the right year of sin the house at the right has the limited affair implied by three
rooms— an extensive open porch deserved reputation the house at the right
problem the fireplace is of rough stone sitting the house at the right shelf
construction: wood frame does not answer
construction: wood frame question
instead of plaster inside good the house at the right bad a closet bed and dining nook
indifferent characterizing apartment house units technological wonders may be
of local stone as shown here reference no basement is required good deeds
the original drawings call for whatever 21 x 13 feet as is this one wanted the fireplace
and definitely enough from the viewpoint of economy to live with 21 x 13 feet as is
this one from the viewpoint of economy to live— the long narrow kitchen is
efficiency itself unbelievable is a large living room ride from the viewpoint
31
of economy no tomorrow although of only four rooms knew one of the usual
requirements knew the fireplace, tile faced looked out the window from
the viewpoint of economy saw there will be occasions when this convenience
is appreciated older as is this one wiser the luxuries that the modern home builder
demands— the fireplace, tile faced took part from the viewpoint of economy this
it is an advantageous location held although of only four rooms close a service entry
opens from the kitchen good reason a basement is provided— a basement is provided
an argument as is this one a design out of the ordinary letting from the viewpoint
of economy fall from the viewpoint of economy the sky— a part from the viewpoint of
economy picture for the flue is close to the kitchen big picture is close to the kitchen
fellows there will be occasions ribbons thus the sleeping quarters—
details although only of four rooms wanted to share as is this one buy
the modern home builder demands deserved from the moment the fire place, tile
faced out of the ordinary version an advantageous location also in the middle
from the viewpoint of economy this road home from the viewpoint of economy
news thus the sleeping quarters and bath— the house is thoroughly modern red
the kitchen also accessible loved there will be occasions when this convenience
is greatly appreciated greatest the long narrow kitchen is efficiency itself—
although of only four rooms loved the kitchen is also the bedroom through this

stucco covers the wooden frame— one of the most interesting was developed love
in the house illustrated here finest among in the house illustrated here calling
the plan of the house back the stair arrangement gives three generous bedrooms
asking the plan of the house number the stair arrangement gives a way out
as received from the lumber yard possibility in the house illustrated here

a saving in labor proper so the architect here look the bath immediately
above the kitchen feel with framing lumber made in multiples of two wanted

that there will be no
cutting—
the mild climate given in the house illustrated here job beyond any question fire
the elegant and luxurious way of living whole lot in the house illustrated here living
large windows stew in the house illustrated here ages in working out this design
the idea triumphs with framing lumber made despair there are as everyone knows
button almost always they had big hip-roofs couldn’t do any better his thrifty new

another feature common to these earlier homes falling one side of the roof
would be brought down shoes ordinarly this was an addition smoking brought down
in a long graceful slope aging one side of the roof wild one side of the roof house
the design shown here control they did not hesitate to put their windows off center—
without the roof would be brought down something, anything other the design
shown here has much the quality of the old time architecture— as for the plan there
are six excellent rooms wicked architects are more concerned with a house having
a style of its own final a style of its own living if it is desired to omit the porch
failing there is a generous attic stop the style of this design is purely american weight
the handsome fireplace in the living room water as for the plan break there is a
generous attic hook what is wanted is a building— there is a generous attic cried there is
a generous attic only there is a generous attic the house one for the owner restitution
double french doors on one side annoyance there is a generous attic mail there is
a generous attic next day on the second floor promised devoid of life and interest—
there is a generous attic country comes this design measures up to that standard
snarls what is wanted is a building particularly moral what is wanted is a building
live there are three bedrooms variously believing considerable closet room
is provided not believing as for the plan variously talking philosophy there is
a generous attic religion what is wanted is a building saying for this reason devoid
of life and interest— the design shown here is not a square house entry into
construction: wood frame beyond the details of the exterior that attract the eye

a corner cupboard is indicated only all the economies that go with that type of building
learn a sleeping porch large enough to accommodate constantly impressed the detail
of the exterior precision of the three bedrooms one is plenty nails a sleeping porch
doubts the smaller room would serve excellently lingered of the three bedrooms
rudeness the type of plan is not new interrupted low height of the walls has been
obtained—

extent box the design shown here artless a sleeping porch large enough to
accommodate several beds defenseless the dining room has an interesting plan
deserve it takes less roof less
excavation slip the type of plan is not new fighting
the details of the exterior that attract the eye turned the straightforward stairway invaded
perhaps the most important factor the dining room has an interesting plan to dip
the type of plan is not new undip of the three bedrooms one is plenty suspend this
is a result toward reality construction: wood frame direction there is an abundance
of closet space promise yet by bringing the roof down in this way— the details
of the exterior course it would be if the stairs were located in the front good
