A solid story-and-a-half house of very neat design is shown in the ac- companying perspective and floor plan.

 A house 3S feet in width really re quires a 60-foot lot. The appearance of a house depends a good deal upon the manner in which it fits the lot. House builders have a habit of en- croaching upon each other on streets that are particularly desirable, so that the placing of house on lot means a good deal because of possible futufe contingencies.
