This three-bedroom ranch home
has ceilings that follow the slope
of the roof to give the illusion of
greater size. Labeled midwest
contemporary" in architectural
style, the house is Plan No. AB198,
American Builder magazine, 70
w. Monroe, Chicago.
Door-high walls separate the
kitchen from the dining-living
area, furthering the sense of in
creased size. Bedroom and hall
closets are placed at the center of
the high point of the ceiling,
thus providing additional storage
space.
Vertical boards and face brick
are used effectively on the ex-
terror. Low roof lines make the
house "hug" the ground. A newly
developed application method
makes it possible to cover low
slope roofs like this with asphalt
shingles, giving the home-owner
Smyrna times., 1955-09-01

wide choice of attractive eolors,
The amount Of window area is
extensive, in line with modern
housing trends.
The modern appearance of the
interior is heightened both by the
unusual diagonal layout of the
wall between kitchen and dining
area, and by the open floor plan,
which allows flexible arrange
ment of furniture.
The house plan calls for a full
basement, half of which is de-
voted to heating and laundry
equipment, the other half to free
space which may be finished later
on as a recreation room. There is
also room for fruit storage bin
under the entrance vestibule.
Detailed building plans are
available from American Builder,
