rods and the toothbrush holder.
The toilet has a special white seat
which is more attractive and easier
to keep clean than the old-style
variety. The bathtub is built in and
occupies the west side of the bath
room wall. A combination soap dish
and handhold is placed in the wall
itself. The door to the medicine
closet is large and is faced with .
mirror. The medicine closet itself
is deep enough to provide room for
4 large number Of toilet accessories
and similar articles. On the east

bottom of the cellar steps door
to the left leads into the basement
room. This room is plastered and
has q lighting fixture but is other

bedroom or recreation room.
A doorway leading from this

At the other end of the large base

rather large room is located on tn
west side Of the basement and unde
the front part Of the house. It will
be used for. storing fruit and to
other storage. Shelving has bee

walls are plastered. This brighten
its appearance and makes it easie
to keep the basement, rs well as tn
rest Of the house, clean.
Some filling has been done on tn
lot to bring it up to tha grade leve
