Floor areas: Superstructure, first unit 990 square feet; with addition
_A_ 1,420 square feet; with addition _B_ 1,375 square feet. Cellar,
350 square feet. Porches, 100 square feet.
Communication between rooms is an important consideration in modern house
planning. This has been provided in house 6523 by a small hall, which
permits access not only from one room to another but also to the outside,
the basement stairs, the washroom, the bathroom, and the linen closet,
thus eliminating the necessity of using any room as a passageway.
Alternate extensions are shown, the choice probably depending upon
the surrounding ground contour. Addition _B_ should receive first
consideration, because it brings the two new bedrooms into closer
relation with the bathroom and does not destroy the washroom adjoining
the rear entrance. It does, however, reduce the size of one of the first
bedrooms.
If addition _A_ is contemplated, the window at _X_ should be located at
_Y_ when the first unit is built. The steps in the hall of addition A may
be omitted if the ground slopes down at the rear so that the floor of the
addition can be built at a lower level than the floor of the original
house.
If addition _B_ is to be used, the window at _Z_ should be located so as
to come in the hall of the addition.
