This is ten-room house. Some
times when there are a number Of chill
dren in a growing family a house Of
ten rooms becomes a necessity.
Ideas in regard to the size of houses
have changed very much in the last
ten years. People are not building
larger than the. need, not so much
because the expense OF building has
somewhat increased, but the principal
rason is that help cannot be secured
TO do the necessary housework a
great many women have killed them
selves trying to keep a large house
looking nice enough to satisfy their
women friends, but women are learn
ing wisdom and are becoming content
with smaller houses, houses that pro
vide just room enough for their fami-
lies and one or two occasional guests.
Sometimes families need house with
four or five bedrooms. then a plan like
this seems to fit in just right
Looking at the perspective 1t will be
noticed that this house tones up with
the best of them. 1t is the kind of
building that satisfies a persons pride,
and every one should have pride
enough to appreciate good home and
feel satisfied with it.
The mere fact OF having a large
house won't satisfy anybody. There
must be more TO a home than the
building, but a family of from six 10
ten persons should be able to estab.
lish very satisfactory home in a
house like this.
The building is 80 feet in width by
81 feet inches in length. and the
porch is extra, size sufficient TO lay
out nicely into large pleasant rooms
