FIVE PAGES SHOWING 
FOUR SMALL HOUSES 
The details of the porches and shutters 
follow, with an unusual degree of archi¬ 
tectural fidelity, the precedent of early 
farmhouses in eastern Pennsylvania 
A small house which is really small, 
while entirely fid filling its requirements 
as a dwelling. Its exterior is thoroughly 
in character with the local colonial types 
The plans are neces¬ 
sarily compact, yet 
adequate in the ac¬ 
commodation of a 
large living room. 
Conservation of space 
is the secret of plan¬ 
ning 50 small an area 
The sleeping porch 
has been contrived in 
a manner not too in¬ 
congruous with the 
early Pennsylvania 
farmhouse type which 
was used here as 
'he architect’s model 
The second floor plan 
provides a surprising 
number of bedrooms. 
The architect is R. 
Brognard Okie, and 
the owner. Miss Mary
