Big Family House Fits 50-Foot Lot
1 By JOHN O. B. WALLACE
Are you trying to keep a rool
. over the heads of a large family.
. on a "amall family" income?
, Here's a hause designed to help
solve your problem:
It'i a small house with a big
look to it.
It can be built on a town-sized
lot. Yet it has three, or even four,
bedrooms.
It has a 20 by 12 foot living
room, an 11 by I foot dining room,
a center hall plan, an 11 by 10
foot kitchen, an attached garage,
a master bedroom suite and even
an outdoor patio.
These are all "large house" fea
tures?yet the house can be built
at moderate cost oo a lot as nar
row as SO feet.
Architect Lester Cohen, who
created this plan designated HW
M in the House of The Week aeries,
went to work on this difficult de
sign assignment with some mis
givings.
"To complicate an already dif
ficult problem," he explains,
"most people like the convenience
of an attached garage." Cohen
solved that problem, among others.
The garage makes the seven
room bouse appear larger than it
is; the garage makes the patio
possible and, best of all, the ga
rage remo,.' the "accordion"
look so often found in narrow
houses.
Fearth Bedroom or Den
The room that is really unex
pected in a house of these dimen
sions is the fourth hgjdroom. It
has all necessary detans to serve
as an extra sleeping room if your
family needs it.
Or it is adaptable as a den, a
study, a guest room, or a play
room. This room separated by
folding doors from the center hall,
is the indoor counterpart of the
patio on the other side of the
house? it's secluded, private and
convenient.
The center hall plan, unusual
In a narrow bouse, is a major in
terior feature. Because of it, no
room becomes a corridor.
The living room is at the front,
with a two-way, corner fireplace
that can be shared by both the
living and dining rooms. The liv
ing room has two full walls for
high bookcase* or other built-in
furniture. The living and dining
rooms form an L, with a 20 foot
sweep across the front and the
same sweep from front to back.
Sliding glass jlopp fqrm. a. win
dow wall for one aide of the din
ing room and open onto the patio,
which extends nearly 20 feet and
is enclosed on one end by the ga
rage and on the other by the mas
ter bedroom suite.
There is direct access to the
patio from the master bedroom,
the garage, the dining room and
the kitchen. The service entrance
to the kitchen i* from the patio.
The master bedroom lavatory Is
convenient for use as a guest
washroom from the outdoor patio.
Well Planned Kitchen
The kitchen has corner doors,
one to the dining room, one to the
patio and one to the con of the
house with ready access to the
cellar stairs and the front door.
The "L" arrangement of the kit
chen leaves an area for a break
fast nook or a built-in snack bar.
The master bedroom, a suite in
every sense of the word, is dis
tinctive for ? house ef this size.
Die suite is anise-Insulated from
other rooms by a huge dressing
akove that include* a built-in
vsaity and a group of four, extra
lane closets with sliding doors.
ne children's bedrooms are of
comfortable size. One has cross
ventilation, and there are two
large windows in the other. A

To Spall Part of Word
Little Rock, Ark. (AP)-One of
Miss Betty Benson's grade school
pupils asked how to spefl a word
that he pronounced "sex."
Miss Benson was surprised but
complied. Later she looked at the I
story the boy had written and
saw that it concluded: "I like
turtles and in-sex." She explained
to the young author how to spall
"insects," but he thought the ad
rice was needless. "I already
knew how to spell 'in,' he told
her. "1 asked you bow to spell
