YARD BOUNDARIES
House Was Designed for
Comparatively Narrow Lot
to Meet Contest Rules.

The place held by the automobile
in this modern age is frankly recog-
nized in the house design by Samuel
j. Collins, member Of the American
Institute of Architects, Staunton, Va,
which was one OF the three prize
winning designs in The Stars area In
the national better homes architectural
competition. In this plan the garage
on the ground level is placed Squarely
on the street facade in the house.
The house has an L-Shaped layout.
with a large gabled wing extending TO
the front Of the main section, and the
garage for two cars is built into this
front wing. Heavy, paneled doors form
the basement story facade Of the wing
The upper stories projected over this
feature in English style. with the ex-
terror of this part Of the gabled wing
being an ax-hewn half-timber work
and Stucco.
The exterior walls Of the remainder
of the house are Of cinder block faced
with overturned common brick, to be
whitewashed or painted.
Brick retaining walls mark the bound
aries Of the front yard and the en-
trance driveway to the garage. The
entrance walk to the main entrance
to the house is at the left of the prop
erty, leading to a stone terrace before
the door, which is recessed in the wall
Of the main wing Of the house.
The dining room is placed in the front
wing over the garage, while the great
living. room is across the rear Of the
house. overlooking rear garden. This
plan gives greater privacy to the living
room by placing it In a section Of the
house removed and shielded from the
noises Of the street and also giving II
an attractive garden outlook.
A large hallway runs across the house
separating the dining room and the
living room. The kitchen Is at the
right end Of the hallway. 1t opens
into a breakfast nook and pantry al
the right Of the dining room.
On the second floor are three bed
rooms and two baths, and in the base
ment. in addition to provision for thu
garage, are plans for large game
room. laundry and heating plant.
In accordance with rules Of the archi-
tectural competition, this house was de-
signed for a comparatively narrow lot
The house would have a total ,of abou
80, 800 cubic feet.

study they will save the public great
deal of time and vexation.
AT the present time ten different
departments which are related TO build

on all four sides of the building. 1t is
necessary for a builder or his subcon-
tractor in most cases to transact buSi-
ness with all OF these departments
whenever he wishes to start a new oper-
alton. In some departments a fee has
to be paid. All payments Of fees must
be made at room 100, on the first floor,
and it Is often necessary for a builder
to stand In line to make a payment Of
perhaps only 81 for some permit in the
building department.
