RECREATION
ROOM
By DAVID G. It Mil l Till R
The ranch house shows signs of
growing up. It seems to have out
grown its playboy phase and to
be settling down to a quieter life
as a one-story residence, free from
wagon wheels and carriage lampa.
Architect! have discovered that
advantages of one-story room ar
rangement, >uch as secluded sleep
ing quarters and broad garden
vistas, as well as the homey ap
pearance of this style of house,
can be exploited in picturesque
settings without rambling in an
effort to live up to a label. The
result is that many attractive
homes are being designed and built
for comfortable living without os
tentation.
The House of The Week, Design
T-108, shown on this page is an
interesting example of that evolu
tion. A heavy wood-shingled roof,
a facade of vertical cedar or red
wood siding, cut-stone facing on
part of the front and beneath long
flower boxes, give this house a
warm and hospitable tone.
Planting boxes are among the
unusual features of this plan. The
front door is flanked by these col
orful accessories. One at the left
of the door seems to grow right
into the house? a floorto- ceiling
sheet of plate glass being all that
separates the planting o4doors
from that in the foyer.
An indoor planting box is pro
vided in a corner of the bedroom
hall, where a vertically louvered
partition screens the view toward
the bedrooms.
But the most spectacular of these
miniature gardens is one in the
oversize window-well of the base
ment recreation room, directly
under the dining room. Here vines
and shrubs, growing from the
baaement level, loom up in front
at the dining room window that
faces the garden terrace.
Comfortable living marks this
plan throughout. Herman H. York,
the architect who designed it, says
it's Just about the way he plana
to build a new house for himself.
From the front foyer you can enter
th? kitchen directly at the right,
or turn to bedrooms and baths di
rectly to the left. Ahead opens a
largo living room with a tremen
dous picture window? 1# feet wide
?facing the terrace. As soon as
you enter this room, you are greet
ed by a blazing log fire in a cor
aer fireplace The brick facing of
(hivftrcplace Is carried aeri>ss that
fenfire side of the living room.
An unbroken sweep of almost
40 feet Is given to the living room
space by the adjoining dining
room. An informal family room or
den opens from the dining room
This is a feature which could be
eliminated for economy, or added
as a future improvement.
A big storage space for garden
tools occupies an alcove in the
two-car garage. The house is really
planned for a good piece of land
The kitchen arrangement in this
House of The Week is especially
convenient. A service entrance in
front of the garage is deftly
screened from the street to con
ceal the door. The service vesti
bule also opens into the garage.
A lavatory, adjacent to this en
trance, is handy for children com
ing In from play. The laundry is
secluded from the kitchen at this
point. A pantry provides ample
food storage space as well as a
place for the freeier.
Space is a secret of this plan.
The basement recreation room and
ground floor family room are lo
cated so far from the bedrooms
that quiet seems to be assured in
the sleeping quarters.

Chief Justice John Marshall in
