Largo wall spaces and few win
dows arc the features of this design,
which hulls from sunny Spain. It
represents a combination of the
beauty of an old motive with the
comfort and convenience made pos
sible by modern science.
The front of this home faces north,
but the view and the garden are on
the opposite side, the south, and this
side Is really the Important one. The
garden Is thus screened from out
sldcrs. The living and dining rooms and
two of the bedrooms, including that
of the owner, ull face the. garden, .
which adds to the attractiveness of
this design.
Arrangement of the stairs allows
for entrunce to the basement without
entering any of the rooms, which Is
a desirable feature.
On the upper floor are three bed-
rooms ana two bathrooms, one of
which has additional space for dress
ing or for a shower If one Is de
sired separate from the tub. Fire
places are provided both for the liv
ing room and owner's bedroom.
The most desirable color for this
type, of house is buff or white stucco,
and red tile roof, all In keeping with
the Spanish design. Colorful window
awnings will add to its beauty.
The garden is an Important fea
ture of this type of home, and should
nott be neglect ted when planning the
location of the building on the lot.
Jn warm weather the family will
want to spend almost as much time
out of doors as within,
, A lpt about CO by J50 feet Is rec
ommended for this home. The cost
should run between $10,000 and $12,-000.
