ing placed out of the way on

veniently located

By holding the hall down to 
a minimum the architect has 
ibeen able to find three bed¬ 
rooms, a bath and two sleep¬ 
ing porches, with plenty of 
closet room besides 
A single drive¬ 
way affords en¬ 
trance to both 
houses. Each has 
i n addition its 
footpath. The 
first floor is com¬ 
pactly arranged 
with the space 
necessary for a 
small family 
An effective 
method of treat¬ 
ing the end of a 
block is to con¬ 
nect houses of 
like architectural 
style with an 
arched wall or 
trellis, thus 
screening the 
rear of other 
houses 
Although not 
quite twins, these 
two houses have 
approximately 
the same second 
floor arrange¬ 
ment, including 
the sleeping 
porch, apparent¬
