overhanging roof covers this terrace and is supported by bracing, or, for privacy, this might be covered with vines or ‘latticework from roof to ground.

We enter from this terrace into the utility end of the kitchen with plenty of space for washer and. laundry tubs—a most convenient location for this particular room as it affords easy access to the backyard for “the busy housewife. You might think the kitchen small, but yet its compactness makes step saving a major item. LET'S GO back to the front door..
