For the average person who builds a
house. a fifty foot lot is always most
desirable With the narrow twenty
fve-foot lots, the house must have at
least ono side close to the line. and that
means that at some future day there
is grave danger that most If not all of
the light and ventilation will be cut off
from that side of the house when
building Is erected next door. Besides.
1t is cheaper to build a house as nearly
square in plan as possible. and the
greater the width the better the appear
ance as general rule.
The little house illustrated takes full
advantage Of the fifty-foot lot by being
almost square in plan. which gives
maximum floor space per square foot
of roof, and leaves plenty of room at
ono side for driveway to a garage
There Is nothing expensive about this
house. in spite Of the fact that It's ap-
nesrance Is SO out of the ordinary. 1t
