No. 6087—In this concrete block house attention has been given to keeping the construction costs at a low level while employing eye-pleasing brick trim around the recessed entrance, the windows, and corners at the front of the house. Furring strips are used to provide air space between the blocks and the interior plaster, and wooden sub-floors are specified. The living-dining room offers possibilities of attractive decorative treatment in the window alcove and has ample space for dining facilities. The remainder of the house is extremely compact, offering maximum housing for minimum cost.

No. 6126—This eight room Colonial home has many noteworthy features. Each of the four bedrooms is of generous size and ample closet space has been provided throughout the entire house. The central hall plan makes each room easily accessible from either the front or the rear door. The kitchen and breakfast nook are sufficiently large that automatic laundry equipment could be placed here without creating any inconvenience. The baths are skillfully located not only to serve the bedrooms, but also the rest of the house. There are built-in book cases flanking the fireplace.

No. 6202—Although planned for stucco construction an equally pleasing exterior would be possible if the builder preferred to use conventional horizontal siding. With the kitchen-utility-dining room arranged in a line the housewife's work is considerably simplified. The breakfast nook has built-in corner cupboards and a small pantry is provided for convenient food storage.

No. 6243—Transom windows for the bedroom and a high window for the bath assure privacy in this cleverly-designed house even though these rooms are located at the front, with the living room being placed at the rear. Brick-veneer is used only across the front. Glass blocks form the wall between the entry and the dining room to lighten that hall. Seven large closets are provided.

No. 6024—Seven rooms and two full baths are included in this story-and-a-half design despite the fact it appears to be a much smaller house. The room arrangement provides for splendid division of the house into three main areas of use—the living and entertaining section, the bedrooms, and the kitchen-dining room section.

No. 6091—The difficult task of maintaining pleasing proportions in a house built on a sharply sloping lot has been well handled in this pleasant, shingled cottage. The library or bedroom over the double garage is a half-story above the remainder of the house. The large bow window across the rear of the dining-living room adds charm both to the interior and the exterior.
