Five-room two story summer home that contains lots of comfort
at small cost.
The construction of a cottage for warm weather use only does not
need to be anywhere near so solid and thorough as that ordinarily
employed for houses. Cedar posts are the accepted foundation
material; drop siding is used alone, without sheathing and building
paper; and the inside face of the walls is left unceiled except
sometimes in bedrooms, bath, etc., where "shiplap" or
beaded ceiling is employed.
The first summer cottage design is especially interesting in
that the ridge of the hip roof comes exactly at the center of
the living room, the ceiling of which is formed by the "shiplap" roof
boards, with the rafters showing.
The accompanying views should be interesting and valuable as showing
some beautiful examples of rustic finish.
Five-room two story summer home that contains lots of comfort at
small cost. This makes a first class suburban home for use the
year around, if desired.
