In Home Building
No. 54. Design Submitted by The National Builders
 Bureau,
 Spokane, Wash.

You've seen rows and rows of square houses of the old box type and may have wondered why peo- pie did not follow more attractive designs in building. The square house has, however, some very practical advantages.
 Tn the house-plan shown here the architect has preserved all of the advantages of the square type of dwelling, but he has produced a design which has an original and distinguished appearance. This house is one which will attract fa- vorable attention anywhere.
 There is a full length veranda, from which entrance is made to large reception room.
 The second floor has three large bedrooms and one small one which measures 9 by F feet. The smaller bedroom is just the thing for the little boy or girl who wants a sepa- rate bedroom, "just like grown folks"
 The size of this dwelling is 29 feet by B feet. It is a real archi- tectural achievement.
