Modern Three-Room Housc for $1800 to $2500

Washington, February 25.-By careful selection of floor plans and designing, and installation of suitable household equipment, the small house can provide many of the desirable features of a larger dwelling and at the same time be erected at very modest cost. The accompanying house plans, developed by American Forest Products Industries to meet the requirements of deflated income and new price levels, call for construction along customary lines, except that a departure from the standard type of wall framing makes it possible to install vertical boarding on the interior instead of plaster. This three-room modern house with standard household equipment included, will cost from $1800 to $2500 to build, not counting, of course, the price of the lot.

The house is 20 feet wide by 30 feet deep and can be built on a comparatively narrow lot. By running a gable across the front of the house, the roof lines and side elevations are broken up and offer a more pleasing effect than is obtained with the single gable roof. The sloping roof at the front with the narrow overhang at the cornice hint of the Colonial type of architecture.

The floor plan consists of a living room l3f feet square at the front of the house, with storage space and bath at the right. The dinette and kitchen are to the left toward the rear of the house and a bedroom lOl teet by 12 feet is at the right rear. The living room may be utilized as a spare bedroom with a disappearing bed. When the bed is in use the bath is accessible from the living room through the bed-storag'e space. Otherwise the bath may be entered only through the bedroom.

An excavated basement under the rear of the house accommodates the heater, fuel storage, laundry trays and provides space for limited storage and a work bench. The attic space may also be used for storage of articles. It is accessible through a trap door in the ceiling at the head of the basement stairs.

9 years' experience in the mill-wholesale and retail trade. Thorough knowledge of cost accounting and salei promotion. Knowledge of the German and French language. Some capital available for se,cure investment. A-l references. Desirous of position with reliable concern. Address Box C-472, care California Lumber Merchant.

The unique feature of the wall construction is the 2-inch by 2-inch studs spaced 16 inches on centers with 2-inch by 2-inch horizantal strips space d 2 f.eet apart, to which the vertical interior finish boards are nailed. This construction with exterior diagonal sheeting provides ample strength for the loads to be carried.

The house can be heated to advantage either by a ,,pipeless" warm air furnace with short air ducts or by a hot water system. Insulating properties of the walls are slight- ly better than for the standard frame and plastered type. The 2l inches of loose insulation over the wood finish ceiling cuts down the heat transfer to about one-fifth of what it would be through a lath and plastered ceiling. This effective type of insulation should make practical the installation of an automatic heating system with either gas or oil.

Wall construction and simplified cornice details are shown on the plans as well as elevations, foundation and floor plans and wall construction details. Plans may be obtained at cost, $1 a set, from American Forest Products Industries, Inc., 1337 Connecticut Ave., Washington D. C.
