This house makes news in prefabrication because it fits a hilly site. It is a big house, 2,216 square feet of living space on the main floor plus a 512-square-foot garage and a lower level which includes family room and a full basement. It is two stories high at the rear and one story high at the front. Tailoring a house to the lot used to be strictly a custom-built undertaking but this is a model planned specifically for land that slopes, prefabricated for $39,000 by builder Donald Scholz. It is built of precut lumber, has prefabricated wall and roof panels, uses ready-made component parts which standardize construction and cut costs. In design it has the individuality of a custom-built house.
