Mister Harrys

No. 6167—Beauty in brick might well be the name for this distinctive basementless home. The floor plan is quite unusual since the utility room has been extended into the center of the house to make possible use of the one chimney for both the fireplace and the heating flue. There are two and a half baths, the lavatory being so located that it serves not only the rear portion of the house, but is a convenient washroom for the children as they come in from play. The shingles are interlocking composition type.

No. 6306—A most attractive variation of the small house has been created in this design through the use of a combination of exterior materials. The horizontal siding tops a plywood base, with a decorative frieze outlined under the eaves. For variety the shingles are laid to produce a series of shadow lines. The interior arrangement is excellent as it allows the living room to be placed so that it has no cross-traffic whatsoever, which is unusual for a small house. There is a full basement.

No. 6020—If the family requires a large house on a smaller lot few designs are as practical as the conventional two-story square, frame house shown here in a modern version. Its conveniences are many. The spacious entry hall with its guest closet not only offers an attractive setting for the exposed stairway, but also provides access to the kitchen, leaving the living room free from cross-traffic. Depending upon the owner's preference the rear room can either be a study with built-ins and storage closets or a well-proportioned bedroom. The master bedroom is commodious, with a self-contained bath and two walk-in closets with storage shelves. All bedrooms are especially cheerful since they have four sizeable windows.

No. 6315— This charming little house, with its large picture window and interesting roof lines, has a compact floor arrangement with good separation of the living and sleeping quarters. A dressing table could be built-in since the bathroom is large.

No. 6273—The centrally-located utility and heating room makes it practical to build this basementless house in virtually any section of the country. Shown here with dark-toned siding and contrasting trim, this house would look equally as attractive if painted in lighter colors. The master bedroom has a private lavatory and shower. A separate storage room for tools is built in the garage which is wide enough to have additional shelving along the entire wall.

No. 6792—Picture windows, corner windows, half-bath for the master bedroom and numerous closets are only a few of the many features of this ranch design. Folding partitions are used to separate the room designated as “study or bedroom” from the living room, and when open, increase the size of the living room which is ideal when entertaining. Note the breakfast nook that is flooded with light transmitted by glass blocks. A modern touch is added by the covered walk alongside the garage.
