The Colonial style house shown here along with the Contemporary and Cape Cod counterparts are the proud products of a quiet revolution in American housing. Each of these houses was designed by an outstanding architect with a view toward satisfying a variety of clients. They reflect custom quality, both in architectural and structural details. Yet it is a happy fact that these three houses, as well as numerous variations of them, can be bought by any American family that yearns for a million dollar look in a home that suits the limits of a modest budget. They are manufactured houses, whose components are engineered and built in the assembly plants of the National Homes Corporation, the nation's largest home-builder.
The three models shown here measure 2,050 square feet, including the two-car garage, and the basic house sells in Lafayette, Indiana, for $22,950. Impressed by both the architectural design and the dollars-and-cents value of these houses, H&G presents here the Colonial "Johnstown" model furnished and decorated for a young family.
