AUSTIN WEEKLY STATESMAN THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1886

Thought desirable 1t is the experience Of
the writer that storm doors are seldom used.
The distinctive feature of this house is the
hail which is large enough, Is feet inches
by Is feet, to be used as sitting room. In
the front part of this hall, and at the right
as we enter, is q window seat and broad
window in front, and Immediately above
1t, as will be noticed; this is slightly
separated from the main room by the small
pllasters or castings on each side Immediate
ly in front of the doorway there is a CRATE
and mantcl set in one corner of the room.
There are large doorways, five feet wide,
leading into the stair hall Immediately back
of this room and into the parlor at the left as
we enter. In this case there are merely door
openings, portieres or curtains taking the
place of the ordinary doors. Sliding doors
might lie used in addition to the curtains and
thus have the advantages of both curtains
and doors
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-12-02

In following the stairway to the second
hoor it will be noticed that there is a broad
landing something more than half way up,
and that there is a large window slightly
above it which lights the hall below and
partially lights the one above. The adj
vantages of having a stairway which lands
approximately in the center of the house, as
does this one, is that no room is lost by hav-
ing long halls which have to lead from the
front to the rear of the house. All we need
have is the short hall in the center of the
building, which will communicate with the
rooms around it. Another convenience OF
this arrangement is that all of the front OF
the house is utilized for chambers There
must either be long hall, which is waste
of room, or one must pass through one or
more chambers to get to others where the
stairway lands in the front of the house.
In this plan the rooms are arranged around
the hall, there being three large rooms over
The three principal rooms below. In each OF
these chambers there is abundant space for
the usual bedroom furniture, viz, bed,
dresser, waShstand and chairs. In these
rooms there are closets, and at the end of tho
hail there is store closet for bedding etc.

kitchen, as is also the bath room. 1t may be
noticed that the fixtures in the bath room
that is the bath tub and closet-are directly
over the sink below, so that the pipes may
have the most direct and the shortest runs
possible, which is not only economical, but is
safe from flooding in case of accident. The
tank in the attic which contains the soft or
ciStern water is directly over the tub, and the
laundry sink in the cellar is directly under
the kitchen sink Thus it is that from cellar
to attic all the plumbing fixtures are in line,
and the pipes are all exactly vertical, except
ing where it is desirable to take short
branch to connect with the fixtures. Having
the bath room slightly separated, as it Is
from the main hail. it is safer from sanitary
point of view than if it opened directly into
the main hall. There is a closet for soileo
linen next to the bath room, which is accessi
BILE either from it or from the short hall lead
| ing to it.
| The stairs to the attic lead out of the hall a
shown The attic is foored, but is otherwis'
unfinished. If found desirable, one or mor
rooms could be finished here which would b
quito as large and pleasant as any of the othe
rooms in the house.
This house can be finished complete, includ
ing fences, sheds, walks, gas fixtures, plumb
ing, nlantels and furnace for $4,000.

susld Else,

The arrangement of the sink, tables, ETC.,
Ia worthy of mention It will be noticed that
the slide from the dining room is Immediately
on fine right side of the tables and sink. In
renoving the dishes from the dining table,
which would be done by means Of tray car
ried through the pantry or passed through
tbo aide. they would be placed on the table
a. tbe right of the sink. They are then
washed on the sink, next placed.!on the drain
hoard at the right and finally wiped ard
placed on a tray on the dry board, which is
merit TO the dining room slide. Thus the
handling of the dishes is natural and without
waste of labor. They find their way back to
fine china closet in the course OF their being
washed and wiped.
The pantry which is really part OF the house
hold workshop, is part of the kitchen. Init
sbould be found large fly safe, place for a
refrigerator with drain to the outside and
window through which the ice may be put,
a ,,astrv hoard provided with a piece Of slate
or marble and with window Immediately
over n and within convenient distance there
from a -four bin. There should also be shelves
and drawers for holding the family stores,
etc. The details OF pantry may be carried
ont in a manner more or les elaborate,
though the general features viii always re-
main the same.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-12-02

From this room the outlines Of the stair
hall and the stairway are visible or not, &C
cording to the arrangement of the porticrcs,
There is a side entrance into this hall and
from it one may go into the kitchen by pass
ing through two doors. 1t is good princi
pie in planning house to always have two
doors between the kitchen and any other
part of the house. One door could as well be
used in this instance, but second one is
added to make the isolation more complete.
This prevents the smell of the cooking and
the noises of the kitchen from reaching the
living part of the house. Thus we accom-
plish in a very inexpensive way what is ac-
complished in more pretentious houses in
very roundabout way by means of long
balls. In the plan here given it may be
noticed that there are cellar stairs passing
under the main stairway in the hall.
The dining room may be entered either
from the front parlor or from the stair ball.
In each case doors are used. 1t is always
desirable to have a dining room SO arranged
that it may be closed from the other part of
the house.
There is CRATE in each of the three princi-
pal rooms the hall, the parlor and the dining
room, and all communicate with a single
stack This is much more economical than
having three distinct stacks which are so fire.
auently used for accomplishing the same re-
suit. The only other chimney stack is in the
kitchen. The two answer every purpose.
The outside corners of the dining room al e
cut off at an angle Of forty-five degrees so
that the end of the dining room presents the
form of a large bay window. In the middle
space at this end may be placed the sideboard,
in which event window will be placed oven
it; that is, well toward the ceiling. The
dining room communicates with the kitchen
through large pantry eight feet square,
or through slide in the back of tho china
closet.
The kitchen is the workshop of the house,
and like any other workshop could be ar
ranged with reference to saving labor, steps
and time. IL should be pleasant as well as
convenient. In this kitchen there are broad
windows on the two sides and door leading
into the back yard. The windows should be
placed high enough from the floor to admit
of a table being placed under them. The
stove or range is placed near one OF these
windows. It is mistaken notion that the
kitchen stove should always be placed in inn
mediate connection with the kitchen fiue.
The flue and the wall space adjacent to it are
much more valuable for other purposes than
for range space. as it may be used for the
sink. work tables, drain board and dry
board, thus placing the pipe duct in which all
of the pipes of the plumbing apparatus pass
TO the bath room and the soft water tank
above next to the fiue. The pipe duct, which
is made of boards, serves a double purpose
II yentilates the kitchen, and, because OF the
air passing through it, prevents the pipe
from freezing. Being placed as it is, nex'
the kitchen fiue, it will always be warm.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-It is frequently
said of those who would build that their ideas
are larger than their pocketbooks. 1t is GER.
family not dlscreditable to any one that his
ideas should be larger than his immediate re-
sources. Such condition causes the enlarge
ment of the individual and his pocketbool at
the same time. Thus it is good thing for
ones ideas to be larger than his pocketbook
The man who says that he wants So 900
worth of house does not get as much for his
money as he who in effect says: II want
3d. 600 worth Of house for $4,000" The latter
is an ambitious man; the former has only q
little ambition. He merely wants a house.
Fortunately, however, there are few such
people.
More often than otherwise it happens that
a man and his wife who have worked hard
for several years get enough money together
to build home, and it is possible that this
home has been talked about for several years
previous to their building. In fact they have
been educating themselves in house building.
They have acquainted themselves with all of
the modern conveniences. They have studied
porcheS, vestibules, halls and stairways They
know how many rooms they want on the
first floor and the bedrooms that they will
have above. At first this house presents it.
self in very crude form, but in the course
of time the plan shows itself more clearly to
them. They begin to place the furniture in
the imaginary rooms, and as they do this
their ideas enlarge. They add at first inches
and then feet to the size of the various rooms
At first their ideas of a kitchen were quite
moderate; in time a sink begins to assume
certain vague outlines, then it takes definite
form on one side of the room; then a pump is
placed beside it, Afterwards the wife says:
GLOW nice it would be if we could only have
hot water faucet over the sink" At first
they shake their heads and say that it would
cost too much, but in the course of few
evenings talk on this and kindred subjects
they come to the conclusion that if the hot
water arrangements do not cost too much
they will have them, and that as things"
are SO much cheaper than they used to be
they certainly ought to get all of these for
about what they originally expected to pay
for the house. Their ideas have been of slow
growth but continuous, and in the aggregate
the growth has been great.
