Home ownership Is the mark Of the
substantial citizen in any community.
And this is rightly so, since the man
who has his interest in any community
by erecting a home and establishing
his family there is the citizen Of the
most substantial type. He has invest
ed his money and Is going to take a
careful interest in all that affects the
welfare Of the community and Of his
home.
And it Is to those who desire to be-
come permanent part Of their COM
munities, and to establish their fam1-
lies in lasting homes that the design
shown in the accompanying illustrations
should appeal with particular strength.
This sturdy home Of brick and
stucco contains a surprising amount
Of room and It's attractive appearance
will find many admirers. 1t Is not Of
the fad type of home which is built to
excess in the period Of its popularity
to be discarded and scorned a few
years later. On the contrary, added
years in this home should bring added
satisfaction in it's comforts and con-
venient arrangement.
The combination of stuccO and brick
in this home makes pleasing appear
ance, which is heightened by the roof
lines, carefully considered and termi-
mated with angles which prevent any
awkward length Of ridge line. Notice
the pleasing finish Of the porch col
umns and the ornaments used to re-
lieve the plain surface of the fireplace
chimney.
The porch gives every visible evil
dence of being a place which will be
used happily, and is not merely an
ornament hung on the front Of the
house.
Examination of the interior arrange
ment of the house discloses a conven-
fence of room grouping which can
come only from careful planning and
intimate knowledge Of the needs Of the
American family.
Entrance Is gained through a hall,
which contains the stairway to the
second floor. This hall gives access
to the living room and the downstairs
bedroom.
The living room, of comfortable size,
is dominated by the fireplace, which
Is naturally the first object impressed
on the visitor coming through the door
from the hall. The room Is well light
ed with windows on two sides and
wall space, free from windows, sug-I
gests attractive grouping Of furniture,
The wide opening into the diningi
room is feature which will give an,
added impression Of spaciOusness andi
the room Is of size large enough to,
care for the needs of large group,
the living room and dining room.i
taken together provide a space large
enough for entertaining rather large
numbers of persons.
Notice the china closet, built across
one corner of the room and balancing
pleasantly the entrance to the sun
porch directly across from it. This
sun porch, with its convenience of ac-
cess from the pantry, would not Only
be utilized throughout the day. but
