No. 6238—For the family with a moderate housing budget here is a design which meets every test of attractiveness, convenience, and economy. The vertical siding framing the entrance and the window grouping can form the basis for individuality in exterior decorating. The L-shaped living-dining room has many possibilities for interesting decorative schemes and furniture arrangements. There are numerous built-ins for added convenience, such as the corner China cabinet, the dressing table in the bath, the clothes chute leading to the basement laundry, etc.
