No. 6344—In this attractive three-bedroom house the living-dining room has been placed to the rear in order to take advantage of the opportunity for combined indoor-outdoor living offered by having a secluded terrace as an apparent part of the room. French doors open onto the terrace, and large windows take up the rest of the wall area. There is no basement. The utility room is for laundry and storage purposes, with the heater and hot water tank being located in an alcove behind the fireplace so that they may be connected to the same chimney.

No. 6238—For the family with a moderate housing budget here is a design which meets every test of attractiveness, convenience, and economy. The vertical siding framing the entrance and the window grouping can form the basis for individuality in exterior decorating. The L-shaped living-dining room has many possibilities for interesting decorative schemes and furniture arrangements. There are numerous built-ins for added convenience, such as the corner China cabinet, the dressing table in the bath, the clothes chute leading to the basement laundry, etc.
