At this time of the year most people

radical features that are likely to cause
disapproval. Yet each house is dis
tihetive anu attractive.
The floor plans of each Of the houses
are somewhat similar because this par
ticular arrangement has been found
to be the most practical. The arrange
ments differ of course in various little
things. bur in a general way they are
much the same.
The opportunity for harmonious con-
trast lies almost altogether in the ex-
terror treatment, and this is where
these houses differ from each other.
In arranging for the building Of
these group houses, the lots are gen.
orally made fairly narrow so all these
designs are made narrow enough to
go on a small lot. The widest is Is
feet and the narrowest is q feet, which
is small enough to go on any lot; as
they are seldom made narrower than
% feet and are generally a little wider
than this.
Several factors enter into the selec-
ton and arrangement of the rooms.
The main object to be accomplished
In the design of a small house is the
utilization Of all the room possible,
consistent with convenience and Access
sibility and also cost. Very often the
latter item can be affected by altering
the sizes Of the rooms a little 80 as to
enable the use Of stock lumber. This
reduces the amount OF cutting that is
necessary and thus reduces the cost
often to q marked degree. 1t also en-
ables the builder to do faster work,
which may be an important factor at
times.
Frame construction Is used for the
designs shown here. which are Of the
bungalow type. The foundations Of
these and also Of the other designs
are made of concrete up to the grade
line. The walls are OF typical 2 by 4
stud construction. which is covered
with sheathing. The sheathing Is then
covered with rosin building paper and
No. I four-inch beveled siding. Floor
joists are usually made OF 2 by los.
which are spaced is inches on centers.
Inc ceiling 1oists are also spaced 10
inches on ceoters, and are made Of 2
by Q timbcrs.
