self is shown in the accompanying
plan. For some reasons this style OF
building has more to recommend 1t
than almost any other design. 1t was
the first way invented to make a
house larger without making 1t too
long
In the early history of building oper-
atlons, houses were made narrow be-
cause window lights were small and
1t was difficult to light wide room.
1t was also more difficult to build a
wide house at that time, because they
hadn't sawed joists, and they lacked
the mechanical contrivances that we
now have for putting buildings to-
gether. floor with hewed timber
beams more than 16 feet long was al
together too shaky; in fact, floors
used to go down into the cellar occa-
sionally when parties OF young folks
got too boisterous.
Although this way of building a
house is several hundred years old,
1t is still as popular as ever, and the
reason Is that houses built in this way
make very comfortable homes. They
have a home-like appearance as you
stand and look at them, and when you
go inside they are so light and cheer
full that you feel at home in time.
The only objection is that every
room in the house has two or three
outside walls, and for this reason IT
is little more difficult to heat such
houses in cold weather; but we have
learned how to protect ourselves
against low temperature by using
building paper and other non-conduc-
tors of heat and cold Then, when
you consider that during the ordinary
winter, even in the northern states
we have only few days of extreme
cold against so weeks OF moderate or
warm weather, this objection fades
