Dr. Taylor built the scale model (above) complete with interior partitions and doors. The model enabled the family to visualize the movements-and living patterns within the structure and to correct mistakes. Since cardboard errors are easier to correct, planning models such as this reduce the risk of preserving errors of judgment in brick and mortar. News Leader Photo Basic Requirements Basic requirement-.’ of the Tay lor family were three bedrooms and a guest-den, a separate dining room and an auxiliary dining sec tion in the kitchen, two baths, good zoning of working, living and sleeping areas and complete one- level living. True to tradition, the kitchen is not the hub of the house, but is located as far from the sleep ing and living areas as conven ience permits. Laundry, utility and excellent utility storage are on the main floor and with the kitchen form the service zone. Mrs. Taylor, who has had a base ment laundry - utility arrange ment, finds the compact kitchen related arrangement far more convenient. The living zone occupies the cen ter of the houire and contains the dining room, living room, enclosed porch and foyer. While there’s an Baseboard Night Light Is Taylors' 'Extra' Gel This: UNC Pays The a" Yet He's A Student At Du An extra feature of the Taylor home ij the baseboard night light system. Installed in flush fixtures and operated from the main hall switch, the small bulbs —about the size of Christmas tree lights — enable Dr. Taylor, on call at the UNC Infirmary sev eral nights each month, to leave without disiturbing the family. Such lights have also proved ef fective in preventing accidents in homes "where small children often wander around during the night. MORE REMODELING The E- O. Harrington's home af 419 West Cameron Avenue doesn't look like the same place since its^ spring remodeling. For details on how they did it, see the Building Page of next Mon day’s News Leader. of the pages. In the bedroom shared by daughi ters Bet and Martha, there are separate wardrobe closets and a single large built-in desk with storage drawers for each. Built with a forward look, the desk will convert easily to a dressing table when the need arises.

J. Mellinger; Robert H. Oakes, w'ho is building a home for W'arren Rose of Durham; and Hen ry (Hank) Gifford and Jack Wright of Chapel Hill, who are building for Carolina Constructors and Realty. The Colonial Heights develop ment has paved and curbed and guttered streets, large, wooded, well-drained lots, and restrictive covenants to preserve the value of the sector. The homes now be ing built feature large family rooms—a n^w. departure in home construction. Information concerning this sec tor may be obtained from Fred Dale or W. Lea Pow'Cll in the Pow’ell Building, W. Franklin St. Edw'ard J. Gill could easily turn into a man wdth divided loyalities, but gets around it by being neutral. ^ Gill is a student at UN.C and Duke University at the same time. This could place him in a crossfire from students at both schools since Carolina and Duke are bitter rivals, especially on the athletic field. ' Hovrever, Gill says there is no question/Of loyalty involved, just a matter of eaonomics. A student in electrical engineering' at Duke, Gill is transmitter en gineer for the UNC Television Station. Since he and his wife live here, Gill finds it eas ier to take some of his courses at UNC. When the question of football between the two schools comes up, people ask him whom he will support. Gill is a dipiomal. He answers, “Going to school and holding dow'n a full-tim leave much tin: games.

As the layout indicates, the location of bath number one places it conveniently near the living room, the den and the parents bed room. Built-ins are really special in the Taylor home. There was no guessing about what would go where. Instead, each item that is normally kept in the house was . measured and provisions were made for storage. There’s even a place for the fam ily - size coke bottle.
