'Tit.-,1- I .fyt9 "-" ; i & Mi a ttctm Six-Room House No. 63 1 Designed for American Face Brick Aisociation HE designer of this house has gone back to the days when the American Colonists had become prosperous , and had begun to build those de lightful houses that still charm the tourists in New England. Those were days when every cultivated man and woman took a genu ine interest in architecture, and the carpenter was a real craftsman. Small wonder that their, houses continue to be models and inspira tions for us after a hundred and fifty.years. ; Furthermore those Colonists were home-loving folks, so the interior arrangements they de veloped have scarcely been improved : upon since their day; We have more conveniences in our modern homes, and that is really the only way in which we have progressed beyond the heritage that they handed down to us. ; ; , 3 Onjthe exterior we have, however, at our dis posal materials that they never even dreamed of. Modern stucco and face brick, with its limitless range of color tones and textures, were unknown to them, and impart to our houses a beauty that was denied to them. . Face Brick not only gives color to the walls but lends a tex ture that is fully as attractive as color. ; i The house illustrated above will fit nicely on a fifty-foot corner lot, but if it is built on an in side lot it should have seventy-five feet It could be built with the side toward the street on a narrower inside lot, but the front elevation is" so attractive that it should be in full view. The interior arrangements are both attractive and convenient. As was common in this type of house, the central hall is entered through a good 'sized vestibule. On the right we enter the com modious living room with a hospitable fireplace at one end, and beyond this is the sunporch, which is to all intents and purposes a part of the living room the year round. On the other side of the hall, a pair of French doors open into the dining room which is almost square, and behind this room we have the kitchen. vThe layout of the kitchen will'deligtit any housekeeper. Note that both sink and stove are placed under windows where they Will have full light at' all hours. There are two roomy cab inets in the kitchen and another over the refrig erator in the rear entry. A lavatory has been' conveniently placed in the rear riaUi; - " r" An open stairway ascends to the second floor with its three large, well-ventilated bedrooms,; all of which have ample closets, ' The dressing room adjoining one of these rooms could easily be converted into a second bathroom. And if more sleeping quarters are desired the space in the attic can be utilized td good advantage. The attic would also make a fine, playroom for the,; children.. , .'. : . ! y. ' In the basement provision has been made for? heating plant, coal room, laundry and vegeta-' ble cellar. , ; 5 The ceiling heights on the first and "second, floors are 8 feet and 6 inches. The cubic con tent of the house is 31,500 feet, and of the ga rage, 2,100 cubic feet; ; V " the tracts and most every conven ience will be of f ered that can be had in the city. , A new county road -subdividing the tract and joining the Portland and Silverton "Highways will be opened and graveled at once. This will make two gravel roads across the tract giving access to either highway. . . . t Carl Bahlburg. local .contractor, has a contract to build houses on the tract and wilt start work this week. These houses will be built and offered for sale when complet ed or finished to suit the buyers. Several of the . tracts'" have been sold and It is expected that some will start to build soon.
