In spite of present-day improvements in building materials, there is
something about the rugged appearance of a log cabin that harmonizes with
rural settings. Log construction blends into wooded surroundings more
intimately than boards, bricks, or stucco.
House 6526 will accommodate 4 persons comfortably, or even 5 or 6 persons
if a couch is placed in a corner of the living room.
The location of the bathroom not only serves the bedrooms but is
convenient to the kitchen and the rear porch.

The central chimney serves the kitchen range, circulator heater, and
fireplace. The ample size of the kitchen, and its built-in cupboards,
dish cabinets, and other conveniences add greatly to the desirability
of the design. If a pass cupboard between kitchen and living room is
desired, it may be arranged in the cabinet next to the outer wall.
