Floor areas: Superstructure, original house 670 square feet; with
addition 940 square feet. Cellar, 255 square feet. Porches, 120 square
feet.
House 6514, with basement and furnace, is well adapted to northern or
mid-western conditions. The steps to the basement may be outside the
building as shown, or the washroom may be extended so as to include the
steps and provide greater protection during stormy weather.
The original house, in order to come in the class of low-cost houses,
does not contain a bath. A pump at the kitchen sink provides water until
funds permit of the installation of a modern plumbing system.
The first unit of the house may be heated either by a circulator heater
in the living room or by a furnace. The furnace will be especially
desirable after the second unit is added.
The added bedroom wing is recessed from the main building line to permit
cross ventilation through the bedroom in the original house.
