Mister Harrys

Here is a home attractive in any setting. Garage is part of the house, with a direct entrance into the kitchen — perfect for inclement weather. Note the beautiful screened-in living porch, with direct entrance from the master bedroom, full dining room, step-saving U-shaped kitchen and generous closet and storage space.

Here is another 3-bedroom home designed for 'indoor-outdoor' living. The big, bright living-dining area overlooks a large terrace. Note, too, the wood-burning fireplace for warmth on cool evenings, the very attractive 'protected' front entrance, and the direct walk-in from car porte to kitchen.

A new look and something different is achieved in The GLENN by a use of varied materials without adding too much to the cost. The open foyer with slanted open beams in the Living and Family rooms gives a modern appearance as you enter the house. A careful study of the floor plan will show a house also designed for everyday living for the family needing more than three bedrooms.

Pleasant proportions, graceful long lines, and an overall unity of design make the LAWNDALE a home of distinctive attractiveness. It's a home that will mellow and grow old slowly, retaining its value for several generations.

Both floor plans are FOUR BEDROOM plans providing spacious accommodations for large families.

Plan No. 2 is a one-and-a-half plan, designed to give its owners comfort for a minimum expenditure.

Plan No. 4, slightly larger, boasts two and a half baths, including a private full bath for the master bedroom. It's a generous, very complete home with ample provisions for the many varied activities that are characteristic of the modern family.

A home of proud and stately beauty, designed outside and inside as one harmonious entity. An honest effect of warmth and friendly neighborliness is accomplished by the skillful interweaving of pleasant proportions, wrought iron columns, and an inviting front porch.

The Avery is an example of what can be done to retain the Colonial touch in a modern rambler. With all the quiet atmosphere of the exterior, the inside is really designed for a family.

Besides the bath and a half for the growing family, the No. 2 plan has a king-size den or bedroom next to the kitchen with its own private access to the back porch.

On the No. 4 plan, notice the bath arrangement and the specially designed family room with its own fireplace to add so much to the kitchen.

Classic simplicity and straightforward bold lines combine in the WESTHAVEN to enclose an interior, in either of these plans, that is as meritorious as the exterior is beautiful.

The ALAMANCE is a lovely home. It seems to have definitely originated in a time of leisure and freedom from turmoil.

To be admired is any effort in architecture which can carry that message through the ages.

The Montgomery seems to extend its invitation to the two-car family. It certainly appears to be in that price range — and well worth it.

Notice especially the hall-to-kitchen and front entry-to-hall access, to minimize "traffic" through the living room. And, the combination family room and kitchen leaves almost nothing to be desired.

When building this design, you may place the home on your lot so that the front entrance faces the street, or, if you prefer, so that the patio faces the street. It is suitable for many varied site requirements, and is also recommended for a corner lot.

For this genuinely authentic ranch home, three different elevations, or "fronts" are offered, and two very practical floor plans are available.
