CROTEAU HOME COMPLETED

The fine three story residence Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Croteau on First
Avenue East has been completed and
was moved into by the family the
early part of the week. 1t is one of
the finest rooming and boarding
houses in the state. The planning Of
the house is exceptionally fine; all
the rooms are large and well lighted;
each room has hot water heat, cleo
trio lights and has running hot and
cold water. The halls are also large,
with a back and front stairway, which
gives the building the very best of
fire escapes. The planning was all
done by Mr.. and Mrs. Croteau, while
the drawings were made by James
Kittleson, with the Soules & Butler
Lumber Co. The contract for the
building, with the exception of the
heating plant and the plumbing, was
secured by this company. Yves.
Lambertson was head carpenter on
the job. The heating system is a
very fine plant and was installed by
J. W. Molloy, who had the contract
for the plumbing. All his work has
proven satisfactory and pleases both
the builders and the owners: The
painting and decorations were done
by the Dickinson Sign Company. Mr..
Mininberg deserves much credit for
the exceptionally fine work done by
his firm. The electric wiring re-
ceived the usual care and attention
that the Dickinson Wiring & Fixture
Co. give all their jobs.
Each floor of the Croteau rooming
house shows that careful thought was
given the planning and arranging of
everything so that the greatest COM
fort and convenience could be Sc
cured throughout. From basement to
garnet, there is not a foot of space
wasted. The basement will be one of
the great joys of the house, especially
for the C%roteaus. The floor is only
three and a~half feet below the
ground level, giving fine opportunity
for large windows. The floor is of
cement and is painted. The wood
finish in the basement, the same as
the rest of the building, is Georgia
pine.
The spacious dining room is found
in the southwest corner of the base
ment. It is prettily tinted and is very
pleasant. It is connected directly to
the kitchen in which the built-in
cupboard, the stove and the sink are
all nicely arranged.
There are store rooms, linen clos
cts, sleeping room for help, laundry,
etc., in addition to the heating plant
in the basement.
The roomy hall ways r to be
found on the first and second floors as
we'll as in the basement. The hall
walls are tinted in two shades of
