No telling what the figure might be today put the principal is the same The home is a story-and-a-half and square, go the cost per cubic foot nf living area should be verv low. Brick walls with wood siding on the gable ends, plus the built in flower box in front and fhe pleasant porch at the rear all add tn the attractiveness of the exterior Ag we enter the protected front pérch we find a vestibule and coat closet with a hall straight ahead and the living room on the left This room is large with a beau tiful inside fireplace which serves as a partial partition between the dining room. A double chimney would make ft possible to have another fireplace in the dining room or it could be made into one of those modern end fireplaces that can be seen from both rooms. The kitchen is Usshaped with lots of cupboard space and light from the picture window over the sink. . There are two large bedrooms down with cross-ventilation and walk-in closets. Upstairs there is room for another one or two hedrooms and bath. The basement is under the en tire house and there's room for
