The Practical Side of Home
ny Arthur Q. Clausen, Architect.

There are four fundamental principles
that underlie the proper construction Of a
home. The building Of a home is an art,
for every home should be attractive in APP
pearance. The stronger the element OF art
is emphasized the easier 1t is to dispose
of It. 1t is the structural science. Upon
the proper execution of this part OF the
work depends the stability of the struc-
ture, the proper and sanitary installation
Of the plumbing. and the proper and
economical installation of the heating sys-
ten. Sentiment also enters strongly into
the construction Of a home. for It is senti-
ment that the home has its conception.
Sentiment inspires it's design and shapes
it's various parts. There is also another i'm
portant factor which should, In fact, must
be given proper consideration. and that is
the practical side OF home building. The
practical side has to do with the con.
venient arrangement of the rooms and tina
including OF all the little conveniences that
make housekeeping easy. While the ar
rangement OF the rooms would In each
case vary according tc the social require
ments Of the owner and the size of the
home being built, there is always one room
which should be as well planned and con-
Pveniently arranged, including the same
conveniences, In a small house. as In a
large one, and that is the kitchen. This
is the room in which the average house,
wife spends the most Of her time. where
she certainly does the hardest work. Still
it is the most neglected room in the house.
Many people when planning q home will
sacrifice many important things in the
LNNAAAn Co.. ~ -,La - 49, 1901. ~
parlor, but this should not be.
TIT best size for a kitchen depends upon
the uses to which 1t lie put. If the family
has formed the habit of eating breakfast
m the kitchen. It would necessarily have
to be larger for this purpose than II II was
used for working urposes only. One OF
the uost complete and convenient kitchens
ever seen by the writer was but seven feet
wide and twelve feet long and this in a
5000 house. The location OF the doors
and windows were such that the necessary
kitchen furniture was arranged as com
pactly and conveniently as a Pullman din
ing car k'tchenette. The location of the
doors end Window necessarily controls the
location OF the kitchen fixtures. The in
convenience of wall spaces are absolutely
necessary. one for tho stove of whatever
kind desired, one for the sink and drain
board, and another for a kitchen cupboard
or cabinet. The kitchen table should al
ways stand under a window. In order TO
allow for this the kitchen windows should
be placed three to three and one-half feet
from the floor to the sill. While the most

for that purpose. The exact size and make
of the box should therefore be determined
beforehand, SO as to have the outside door,
which Is a part Of the wall OF tho building,
properly located and OF the right size. An
icebox. four feet eight inches wide, is large
enough for a family of five or six. Most
boxes are some smaller than this. 4
laundry chute is always a decided con-
v%enicnce. This should start from some con-
vG5ient place on the second floor. prefer
ably the bath room, and drop straight to
the basement. passing through either the
kitchen or pantry, with an opening on the
first floor At the bottom in the basement
there should be a tin, lined box about
thirty inches square. with a lid to one side
OF the chute. This box she uld invariably
be tin -lined, for, when IL is not, the clothes
which at the time stay In 1t over night,
are sometimes attacked by mice. Tho chute
should be one foot square inside and lined
with smooth flooring. When possible there
should be a closet off of the kitchen for
broc ms, POTS, kettles etc. This should
have several shelves and several rows of
hook strips on which TO hang pans. spi-
ders. hesh bowls. etc. A kitchen cupboard,
In fact, all pantry cupboards. should have
the lower half, or counter shelf. left open.
the doors starting from the first shelf
above the counter The space between the
first two shelves should be not less than
sixteen inches. with twelve inches between
the rest.
Most laundries are placed In tho base
ment. Here the laundry work can be done
away from the heat OF the kitchen and
the clothes can be hung up TO dry in cold
OF rainy weather, where they will not be
soiied or harmed A two-part laundry tub
is the usual provision. although a three
part laundry tub is the ideal arrangement
This should be placed in front Of an area
window, preferably on the south. The
tubs should be located three feet from the
wall to allow for working on all sides. II
also allows the light to shine directly INTO
the tubs. A laundry stove serves many
purposes. Besides using II for boiling
clothes and heating irons It is used in
drying clothes and in preserving. This
work can be carried on here without in
terfering with the regular kitchen work,
and the basement is invariably cooler
during the preserving season than tie
kitchen.
