A house plan which also includes
the Enthusiastically one which
shows the garage under the same
roof-strikes a responsive chord in
the hearts of hundreds of persons
who are planning to build and who
must make some provision for their
automobiles. A garage under the
same roof with the house is greatly
to be preferred, both for the con-
venience of the arrangement and the
conserving of ground space. And so
todays plan is of particular interest
and one which the majority of home
builders will find most practical in
every way.
The garage is well placed. being
attached to the back of the house
and since it can be entered only from
the back hall, gasoline odors will
not likely annoy the members of the
family.
The eight rooms in this house are
all splendid large rooms, being ex-
ceptionally well lighted and con-
veniently arranged. Entrance is

could easily be enlarged into a porch

expense.

Tile also comrises the floors in the

Oak floors, with mahogany doors

this house, exclusive of the rear
