Main 909 La Grande LOG HOUSE TAKES SMALL LOT i' i im i limn ii At this time of year people naiural ly are thinking of building a log house In the woods or of building such a house. In some suburban dis trict. This house, both in' plan and form, lends Itself well to a lot that Includes trees and shrubbery. The old logs are an excellent background for vines and evergreens. A lot of 75 by 100 feet would be large enough for this house, although a more desirable setting would result jon a lot 100 feet square. xnree Dearooms, a dining alcove, largo living room, kitchen and bath are Included In this plan. It has all the comfort of any mod ern house, but when a builder wishes to be individual he naturally wants something that has distinctive charm. The logs, If left with the bark on them and built on the style of old log houses at the, corner, are much warmer and more durable with ce ment placed between. The front entrance may be built of limbs for main posts. This un usual design adds to the house's character. A garden of flowers planted In front is particularly effective. Construction cost of course would vary in different parts of the coun try, and if built In the woods the cost naturally would be moro or less In proportion to the difficulties in volved In getting desired materials'; Under ordinary circumstances, how ever, the house may 'be built at from $7,000 to 9.000. .
