CHAPTER VIII 

 THE SERVICE AREA 



THE service portion of the property embraces the garage, garage 

 court, vegetable garden, laundry yard and all other outdoor work- 

 ing parts. As has previously been stated the service area should 

 be screened both from the street and the living portion of the house 

 and grounds. 



The service area should be easily reached from the street and 

 should be accessible to the kitchen entrance and to the entrance lead- 

 ing to the basement of the home. The arrangement of the garage and 

 garage court should be designed in a manner as shown in the Chapter 

 on "Walks and Drives." 



The vegetable garden can be made an attractive portion of the serv- 

 ice area and can open out upon the more private portion of the grounds.
