The Amherst is a good example of satisfactory results achieved by using both materials. The brickwork at the corners of the front wall is built out to form pilasters against which the frame projection of the second story finishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rear wall is treated full height with brick, while both gables have wide bevel siding (brick not included in price).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Floor Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does the exterior conform to extensively popular tastes but the floor plan too, is a splendid conception of practical arrangement. Note the nice balance of the first floor rooms as well as a direct passage from the front hall through the kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soap and water close by in the lavatory when you finish the weekly clean-up of basement or yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That quiet corner where you can balance the family budget or get the \u201cmeat\u201d from your favorite book, will be found in the library space at rear of the living room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the kitchen might indicate a crowded condition but plenty of space has been designed for all equipment and it really is a step-saving, efficient work center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each bedroom has two or more windows located to provide cross ventilation. Closets are above the average in size and an extra closet for linen storage is located in the hall next to the bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall dimensions are 29 ft. 6 in. wide by 27 ft. 4 in. deep and can be built on a 40 ft. lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the base price quoted, we guarantee to furnish complete materials according to specifications.

Homes built over a hundred years ago grow old gracefully and still retain a certain warmth and beauty. It seems to have many friends in both urban and suburban areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Attleboro achieves distinction with its fine doorway, dormers, shuttered windows and correct architectural details. No \u201cgingerbread\u201d to get out of date. Outside walls are shown of Cedar shingles, but will look equally attractive with siding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Floor Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first floor lavatory opening off the rear hall, in addition to complete second floor bath, adds greatly to the value. Closets for outer wraps handy to front and rear doors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central hall with semi-open stairs, large living room, dining room and exceptional kitchen, completes the first floor plan. Double drainboard kitchen sink with built-in cabinets as shown on floor plans are suggested at a slight additional cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second Floor Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two large bedrooms and one smaller one, each with a good closet open off the upstairs hall. Each bedroom is well lighted and contains good wall space. A hall closet for linens at the left of the bath is a real convenience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bathroom plumbing \u201croughs in\u201d directly over the kitchen which reduces installation cost. Three attractive \u201cAristocrat\u201d plumbing fixtures as available in Specification 22B work out nicely in the bath. A built-in Venetian mirrored medicine case is part of the standard equipment furnished with this home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The floor plan is 36 ft. wide by 26 ft. deep and will require a 60 ft. lot on account of the 11 ft. porch at the side. In case of a narrow lot, porch could be placed at the rear of the living room instead of at the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our base price includes all necessary material to build this six room and bath home, consisting of lumber, lath, millwork, flooring, shingles, building paper, hardware, metal and painting materials according to complete detail specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Auburn &amp; Chester<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sauburnd.jpg\" alt=\"35sauburnd\" class=\"wp-image-12630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sauburnd.jpg 600w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sauburnd-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sauburnd-496x331.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sauburnp1-1.jpg\" alt=\"35sauburnp1\" class=\"wp-image-12631\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"261\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sauburnp2.jpg\" alt=\"35sauburnp2\" class=\"wp-image-12632\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35schesterd.jpg\" alt=\"35schesterd\" class=\"wp-image-12633\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Auburn Modern Home is another good example of what proper design will accomplish in the way of large convenient rooms in a small area. It has four floor levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exterior walls are treated with a number of different finishes. The front wall under the overhanging gable has perpendicular siding, the vestibule, stucco and half timber, balance of the house, 24-inch shingles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Floor Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The basement level which is only a few feet below grade, can be used for laundry and heater room and recreation room or garage. The space under the living room, dining room and kitchen is not excavated. These rooms are well arranged on the regular first floor level, only a few risers above the basement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u201cHalf Flight\u201d of stairs opens from the living room to small second floor hall, which connects bath and two bedrooms. Material for the third bedroom is not furnished in base price, as most builders leave this room to be finished at some future date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Chester Modern Home No. 3380<\/strong><br>Already Cut and Finished . . . See Price List<br>The floor plans of the Chester are the same as the Auburn, only the recreation room has been planned for attached motor room. Glazed triple \u201cup and over\u201d garage doors are attractive and easy to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exterior walls, except front vestibule, are of 24-inch clear Royal shingles, finished with one dip coat and one brush coat of Super shingle stain.

There is economy in its simplicity and cozy comfort within its well built walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each exterior detail has been studied for best results. The Colonial front entrance is a replica of the design which stands so invitingly on the entrance to the Perkins House, built at Costine, Maine in 1769.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exterior walls up the eaves, are planned to be covered with clear bevel siding to receive three coats of Master-Mixed paint. The gables of are flush type siding. Dark brown or blue-green on the stationary slat shutters give a pleasing contrast to the light walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to place on narrow city lot, the side porch can be changed to the back with opening from the dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The living room and dining room at the right of the plan are designed to give the appearance of one large room. Careful planning on the left side results in comfortable hall with semi-open stairs, service passage, grade entrance, lavatory and well arranged kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upstairs you find three good corner bedrooms, four closets and bath. Not much chance for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Berkley A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sberkleyad.jpg\" alt=\"35sberkleyad\" class=\"wp-image-12641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sberkleyad.jpg 600w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sberkleyad-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sberkleyad-496x331.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sberkleyap.jpg\" alt=\"35sberkleyap\" class=\"wp-image-12642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sberkleyap.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35sberkleyap-153x300.jpg 153w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So successful an adaptation is the true Colonial, that the casual observer fancies it may have been there, ensconced for decades, serene under the assaults of sunshine and storm during a long flight of years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general spirit and outline, it harks back, of course, to a popular type used in the early Connecticut days, but the compact inside arrangement and low cost meet the modern needs of a small family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Berkley Plan A and its grown-up companion, \u201cPlan B\u201d shown opposite, have been created to illustrate that it is possible to plan and start your home in a small way and add \u201cas you need.\u201d It has individuality and character, largely achieved by those touches of personality which lift it out of the commonplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Exterior is well designed for service, the porch giving the necessary protection to the front door, and the rear door at the grade allows deliveries to the kitchen and service to the basement without tracking through any of the main rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exterior walls are planned to be covered with a clear grade of siding, finished with three coats of Master Mixed paint.

It was the custom to erect the central portion of the house to meet immediate requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allowance was made and proper original planning provided for the addition, later, of one or more wings, as rapidly as the family and its responsibilities enlarged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Floor Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Berkley designs are very flexible.

Dining room, kitchen and second covered porch complete the first floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second floor is devoted to the bedrooms, bath and plenty of closet space.

We suggest colors ranging from light reds and browns to dark blues and a few blacks. Lots of color and a little careless touch to the stone work, shutters and wrought iron rail will give the right feeling. Warm shades of cream and brown in the stone will be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The floor plan is a dream. From the front terrace, we pass through a batten type front door equipped with ornamental wrought iron hinges and hardware. The hall gives a fine impression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A semi-open stair leading to the second floor has iron railing and balusters and small iron grill, opening from the stair landing into the living room. Note the connecting passage from kitchen to front hall and convenient lavatory for the children to \u201cwash up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The living room and dining room are large, well lighted and offer good wall space and many interesting details. The kitchen is an ideal work center &#8211; a place for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The successful designing of the garage as a part of the main building is desired by every home owner but it seldom works out as successfully as in this plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second floor has two very large bedrooms, studio and bath, all with good head room. Specifications include linoleum, enamel for kitchen and bath, oak floors, back band trim, 1-panel doors. La Tosca hardware and cabinets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Homecrest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomecrestd.jpg\" alt=\"35shomecrestd\" class=\"wp-image-12724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomecrestd.jpg 600w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomecrestd-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomecrestd-496x331.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomecrestp.jpg\" alt=\"35shomecrestp\" class=\"wp-image-12725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomecrestp.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomecrestp-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The premise that the investment in a house should only increase when warranted by the growing needs of the family suggested this attractive plan. While the photographs and floor plans show the home built complete, it lends itself admirably to the \u201cHouse that Grows\u201d idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exterior is true Colonial and is finished with clear bevel siding, painted white, with slat type window shutters painted a contrasting dark color. Each perspective is equally attractive on account of the broken lines of the main building, garage unit and porch, also well balanced window arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Floor Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main feature of the floor plan is the \u201cstepped up\u201d four level arrangement. In order to give the largest livable area at the lowest cost, the foundation is planned with a minimum excavation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the first floor plan shown below the space indicated for playroom, utility room and fuel storage, is the excavated portion. Study the cross section drawing shown on the opposite page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approaching the main entrance you enter the vestibule with closet for outer wraps. On this level you find large living room, dining room and kitchen. Only half the usual number of steps are required to go from the back hall to the basement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will always find it convenient to go from the kitchen to front door without going through the dining room. The kitchen is an ideal work center with a handy place for all equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second Floor Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the garage, though separated, has the appearance of being a part of the main building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Straight steep stairs are hard to climb so we know you will appreciate the idea of reaching the second floor level with only six risers. Wrought iron rail adds to the appearance of stair detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second floor level contains two good bedrooms and bath. The third bedroom located over the living room is reached with another \u201chalf flight\u201d of stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to pay as you build and need, you can have a complete attractive home of five rooms only, leaving the porch, garage wing and third bedroom to be finished at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us send you complete details and delivered prices on all materials for this most unusual plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Homestead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomesteadd.jpg\" alt=\"35shomesteadd\" class=\"wp-image-12727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomesteadd.jpg 600w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomesteadd-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomesteadd-496x331.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomesteadp.jpg\" alt=\"35shomesteadp\" class=\"wp-image-12728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomesteadp.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35shomesteadp-158x300.jpg 158w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all Nature\u2019s gifts to man, none is more priceless and essential to his health, happiness and comfort than that so lavishly bestowed by the lordly monarchs of our primeval forests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would your home, whether castle or cottage, pretentious or plain, be a real home if there were no \u201cgift of trees\u201d to give it an atmosphere of sincere welcome, warmth and hospitality?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homes of wood can be reclaimed and refinished not only to their original beauty \u2013 but changes and additions can be made much easier than with any other material. Keep this in mind, wood homes are not expensive, especially when you select a tested economical plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Low Cost Enclosed Space.<\/strong>&nbsp;It is not a problem to design and build an attractive livable home when the amount of money you have to spend is unlimited \u2013 but it is a horse of another color when you have to keep within a \u201cLow Cost\u201d budget. To be successful you have to plan carefully to eliminate all waste space and material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beautiful Colonial Cottage with outside walls of clear bevel siding is certainly deserving of the name \u201cHomestead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Floor Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After studying the floor plans shown on this page and the cross section shown on page 36, you will note that you have three and a future fourth level. An attached motor room and utility room are provided in the left portion of the plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This space requires only a minimum excavation about three feet below grade. If you plan on using a detached garage, you can have a larger basement or part of the space can be used for recreation room &#8211; a new feature desirable in every home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regular first floor level which you enter from the front porch contains living room, dining room and kitchen. Everyone likes second floor privacy for their bedrooms, but objects to climbing a lot of stairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you reach the two bedrooms and bath with a half flight of open stairs with wrought iron railing opening out of the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also note that a large third bedroom can be furnished at some future time in the space over the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan used with the \u201cHomestead\u201d has been so successful that we have used practically the same idea on five other houses shown on pages 22-23-36-58.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Send for complete details about the most successful Small Home planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Lewiston<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35slewistond-1.jpg\" alt=\"35slewistond\" class=\"wp-image-12731\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35slewistonp-1.jpg\" alt=\"35slewistonp\" class=\"wp-image-12732\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Who would not take price in being pointed out as the owner of this beautiful English home? There is a deep satisfaction in the possession of a home which truly expresses the good taste and the hospitality of the family, and a keen enjoyment in pleasant well proportioned rooms, arranged for gracious living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exterior combines stone and brick in the English manner, with leaded casements, long iron strap hinges, flower boxes, contrasting shutters and wood shingles laid with wide exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lewiston is complete as a five room bungalow, yet whenever needed, two additional rooms can be finished on the second floor, also a bathroom if desired, by placing a dormer in back. A music room can be arranged by making an opening between the living room and one of the bedrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First Floor.<\/strong>&nbsp;A clear ponderosa pine batten type circle head door leads from the terrace to a living room with a fireplace flanked by English casements. A plastered arch connects living room and dining room, each of which has a group of three large windows. Good wall spaces for furniture in every room and a pleasant outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kitchen.<\/strong>&nbsp;With its cross ventilation, cupboards (furnished at option price), sink near one of the windows and the convenient location of the basement stairs and rear door, one can work comfortably in this room while keeping an eye on outdoor activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bedrooms and Bath,<\/strong>&nbsp;also linen closet and stair open off a hall which gives privacy to that part of the house.

Well proportioned square columns tie it in as a part of the main structure. Screened in summer, it forms a most popular place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dormer shown on the front perspective is repeated on the rear and helps to break up the otherwise large roof area. The stone base of the chimney is an unusual and interesting detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front wall under the porch roof is planned to be covered with brick, while the balance of the walls are of wide bevel siding which we suggest painting white or cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Floor Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On each side of the six panel Colonial front, door glazed sidelights furnish brightness and necessary light to the central hall where you also have a convenient closet for wraps. Every home builder will enjoy planning and furnishing the large living room with open fireplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rear porch is accessible from both dining room and kitchen and gives the necessary protection. The kitchen is a real efficient work center with good light and wall space for all necessary equipment. Cellar stairs and broom closet are located under the main stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wide enclosed stairway leads to upstairs hall which connects the three bedrooms and bath. The Master bedroom is above the average size with dressing alcove, two closets and three exposures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No waste space in this home. Every foot is used to the best advantage. The location of the bath enables all plumbing fixtures to \u201cplumb in\u201d in one stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan is 32 ft. wide and 30 ft. 4 in. deep and will look attractive on a lot 50 ft. wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Newcastle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snewcastled-1.jpg\" alt=\"35snewcastled\" class=\"wp-image-12755\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snewcastlep-1.jpg\" alt=\"35snewcastlep\" class=\"wp-image-12756\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Standing four square to cheerful sunshine and admitting plenty of light in every room on cloudy days, this plan employs every inch of floor space advantageously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a design of perfect symmetry in the disposition of windows and front doorway, graced by a dignity of line and perspective in which you would take constant pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Exterior Walls<\/strong>&nbsp;are planned for clear bevel siding except second floor portion of front wall which is to have flush pattern boards. All exterior wood members to receive three coats of Master Mixed paint, we suggest a light color in contrast to the dark roof and shutters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Front Entrance.&nbsp;<\/strong>You will be proud to know that this type of front entrance graced the homes of some of our famous early settlers. The original Richards House, built at Litchfield, Connecticut in 1730 (over two hundred years ago and still standing) has details almost identical to ones shown on the Newcastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Floor Plans.<\/strong>&nbsp;This is another very good example of a practical \u201ccenter entrance\u201d design which has worked out nicely without the expense of a large center stair hall. The first floor has a large living room, dinging room and kitchen. Note the suggested location for all kitchen equipment leaves plenty of room for drop leaf table and chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Second Floor.&nbsp;<\/strong>Three corner rooms with good closets and cross ventilation open off the upstairs hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basement is planned for full excavation to contain laundry, fruit storage, heater, fuel and plenty of room for recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Normandy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandyd.jpg\" alt=\"35snormandyd\" class=\"wp-image-12760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandyd.jpg 600w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandyd-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandyd-496x331.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandycs-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"35snormandycs 1\" class=\"wp-image-12761\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"654\" src=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandyp.jpg\" alt=\"35snormandyp\" class=\"wp-image-12762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandyp.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandyp-138x300.jpg 138w, https:\/\/oldhousesforsale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/35snormandyp-275x600.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This attractive French or Normandy type house is another good example of a flexible plan, giving the maximum livable area at the lowest cost consistent with good construction. Distinguished by a beautifully designed turret, capped with antique weathervane and supported by half timber and stucco pediment, forming an interesting circular shaped vestibule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exterior walls as shown in the photograph, are planned for brick (not included in base price). We recommend using common brick painted white for best appearance. Stained shingles or wood siding can be used with equally pleasing results and at a considerable saving in cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Floor Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The newest and one of the most popular ideas being used for both city and suburban homes is the \u201cstepped-up\u201d floor plan. By studying floor plans, you will note four levels. First \u2013 Excavated portion containing game room, laundry and heater room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second \u2013 Regular floor level with living room, dining room and kitchen. Third \u2013 Two bedrooms and bath and Fourth \u2013 If you desire to finish a third bedroom, a half flight of stairs carries you to the space over the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The economical feature of this home is that you have to excavate only for a depth of 3 ft. (average excavation is 5 ft.) for the left wing only. This entire area can be planned for basement, if desired as the front part provides recreation room or attached motor room. Some have used this space for maid\u2019s room and lavatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note the large \u201cL\u201d shaped room devoted to living room and dining room. A pair of French doors in the back wall of the dining room opens on to the terrace. Kitchen is planned to receive all equipment necessary for step saving work center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Price Includes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our base price includes all the material needed for this home consisting of lumber, lath, millwork, flooring, shingles, building paper, hardware, metal and paint material according to general specifications shown on pages 8, 9, 10 and 11.

The treatment of the front gable with half timber and stucco relieves any suggestion of plainness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan contains four well arranged rooms, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and bath. Every inch of space is used to the best advantage. The designer even thought about a handy place for your brooms at the top of the cellar stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reversed Floor Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The lot on which you plan to erect your &#8220;Honor Bilt&#8221; modern home may face so that the rooms which will give the best view or in which you want the morning or afternoon sun are on the wrong side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can overcome this objection by taking advantage of our reversed floor plan arrangement.
