ECONOMY IN BUILDING
EXTRA HALF STORY
Cheaper Than Bungalow or Reg
ular Two-Story
House.

Often the story-and- -a-half house
solves the problem Of obtaining a
home at a moderate cost.
The bungalow makes an ideal home
for those who enjoy the comfort and
convenience which result from hav-
ing all the rooms on one floor. But
1t is not necessarily the least expen-
sive type of home to build. Its wide
spread plans often lead to costly
foundations and costly roofs. When
the same number of rooms are placed
in two stories, the foundations and
roof do not extend SO widely, and the
expense of building may be reduced
correspondingly.
Between the bungalow and the full
two-story house is the story and-a-
half house, which has the snug, low
look and coZy interior effect of d
bungalow, yet has the economical
construction of two-story house
In the story d-a-half house the
space under the roof can be utilized
for sleeping quarters. and very good
bed rooms can be obtained through
the use of large dormers and by in
creasing the pitch of the roof. By
this means adequate ceiling height
may be gained for the bedrooms in
the second story at somewhat less
cost than full two-story houses.
