The first houses, built when the

square or nearly so. Then, as more
room was needed, they were extended
in one direction, keeping generally to
one room in width. When the limit
In this form was reached, some bright,
intelligent fellow branched on at
right angles, and built room on the
side Of his house. This must have
been considered great innovation, as
well as great invention; and so 1t
was, for it has been handed down from
one generation to the next, and we
still find the idea worth adopting.
There is no record OF the original
house built on this plan; so we do not
know whether 1t had an upstairs or
not; but there is a good second story
to this house, and thereis also good
