CHAPTER V 

 THE DIVISION OF AREAS 



WHEN the house is definitely located the division of the prop- 

 erty into various areas for different purposes becomes apparent. 

 The grounds about the house are divided in three general classi- 

 fications: ( 1 ) The Public Area that portion of the property commonly 

 called "the front yard," and which we allow the public to enjoy with us; 

 (2) The Private Area that portion of the grounds which is developed 

 for the occupants of the home and their guests; (3) The Service Area 

 that portion of the property set aside as a working portion, for the loca- 

 tion of the garage and for various utilitarian uses. (Fig. 26). 



We find that we wish to divide these general areas further, for we 

 wish to include as part of our private area the garden area which sug- 

 gested itself when the house was located. As a part of our service 

 area we wish a vegetable garden, a laundry yard, a garage and suf- 

 ficient space for backing and turning the car. (Fig. 27).
