Neat Six-Room Story-and-a-half Cottage
Neat Six Room Story-and-a-half Cottage
A pleasant little dwelling that will go nicely on a narrow lot
is illustrated. It is just about as simple and free from complicated
features, that run up the cost, as any house could well be. Its
rooms are all pleasant and convenient and there is no waste space.
A house of this kind is inexpensive to build and can be rented
or sold at a reasonable price and still give a margin of profit
to the owner or builder. As the width is only 22 feet, it will
go on a narrow lot very nicely. A narrow lot usually means houses
crowded in rather close together ; and so in this design the principle
lighting is from the front and rear.
The outside appearance of this little dwelling is very attractive;
a frame house, with wide clapboard siding, resting on a cement
foundation. The shingle roof has a slight curve just at the eaves.
Wide fascia boards, sawed out with a flare at the bottom give the
front gable end an ornamental appearance.
The front porch is generous in size and has neat porch rail and
three turned columns. Entrance is into a square re-ception and
stair hall; from this one can pass into the parlor, through a cased
opening to the right, or directly back into the kitchen. The dining
room is just back of the parlor.
A special feature in this design is the laundry chute opening from
a little closet across the hall from the bathroom on the second
floor, also with an opening out of the kitchen on the first floor
and leading down to the basement laundry.
