Several money-saving and labor-saving ideas were used. Note there is practically no waste space in the room arrangement. Halls have been almost entirely eliminated. Basalite bricks have been used in construction, not only in the walls but in the floors as well. Floors are waterproofed and laid on the ground, which saves the cost of underpinning and sub-flooring. Floors are terracotta in color, stained and waxed throughout the house, with the exception of the kitchen, which is linoleum. Bath and sink are tile. Roof is of basalite concrete shingles.
