Six Room, Story -and-a-Half House
Six Room, Story-and-a-Half . House—Design 9021L
Six-room houses are very popular in almost all American cities.
Six rooms will accommodate most families, but sometimes there
is little waste or unused room to be cared for. This design,
No. 9021L, offers a splendid arrangement of rooms.
The large dining room, 12 by 17 feet, with a fire-place is the
main attraction. The open stairway going up from this room is
one of the interesting features of the house.
In this case it was necessary to have a window on that side of
the dining room, so the plan of building an open stair was adopted.
It permitted a window over the first landing, which, together with
the bay window on the opposite side of the room, admits plenty
of light and ventilation.
The double vestibule entrance is different from most houses. It
is intended as a substitute for the usual hall way. There is a
place for a hat and coat rack in the alcove as you enter the dining
room, and a hall tree may be placed in the vestibule.
It is a well balanced house, with its three rooms down stairs and
the three bed rooms with a good bath room upstairs.
Kitchens as large as this one are not common in small houses. But
where the dining room is used for a general living room, the large
kitchen may be used for dining room except on state occasions when
the rich uncle comes to be entertained.
The little back porch on one of these houses was screened with
wire fly netting and a Dutchman's pipe vine was trained to climb
all over a woven fence wire trellis hung from the roof 'cornice.
This screen reached back along the side of the house until it covered
the pantry window, making the pantry dark and cool in summer.
