must be heated in order to heat another. Unnecessarily wide corridors are 

 also expensive, not only because of original cost, but because they require 

 added janitor service, heat, light, painting and insurance. (5) Operating 

 budget. Before the building is constructed, an operating budget should be 

 drawn up covering heating, lighting, water, insurance, supplies, janitor 

 service, repairs and similar items. If fees are to be charged for the use of 

 facilities, an income budget will also be prepared. 



A Few Examples of Recreation Buildings. 



The following plates show examples of a number of recreation build- 

 ings throughout the country. They include not only community houses 

 and recreation buildings but golf clubhouses with social features, recreation 

 pavilions and similar structures. 



PLATE No. 198. SOUTH SIDE CLUBHOUSE, SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 



This attractive building, which was erected in 1925 at a cost of $9,1 10, is an interesting example of the multiple 

 use of a small and inexpensive structure. Three groups can use this building at the same time without interfering 

 with each other. Among the features provided are assembly hall, 28 xj6 feet, with stage and fireplace, two super- 

 visors' rooms, girls' clubroom, kitchen, dressing rooms which can be made into a clubroom, tool room, showers, 

 toilets and living quarters for the attendant. Perhaps there is no other recreation building erected at a cost of 

 less than $10,000 which provides such a variety of effectively arranged facilities. The cost of constructing such 

 a building would be greater in a part of the country having severe winters, since it would be necessary to provide 

 a heating plant and more expensive construction.
