closets on the second floor; the finish is in
ash. elm and birch. The house has a bath
room, is heated by a MurkIand furnace
and is a modern structure in every way.

Twenty-six rolls of roofing paper were
used on the walls in the endeavor to make
it as warm as possible. 1t is we'll lighted
throughout and will make a very pleasant
residence. Two bay windows and two
dormer windows with a veranda on the
front and another short veranda on the
