Floor areas: Superstructure, 1,155 square feet. Porches, 245 square
feet.
The well-known economy of square house construction is illustrated by
this plan. A choice of heating methods without a cellar is indicated. If
a circulator heater is used in the hall, as shown, the chimney between
the bedrooms will not be needed, and if extra bedrooms are wanted they
may be added as in plan 6517 (p. 18). A fireplace in the back bedroom
would, of course, interfere with taking a hall off this room.

Kitchen doors are located to permit easy communication between the
screened porch and the hall without interference with the work area
while the screened porch is useful as both work and dining area. This
latter feature, together with the ample size of the bedrooms, living room
kitchen, makes the dwelling especially suitable for the small family in
the South. The addition of a cellar under one-half of the house and of
a central heating plant would adapt this plan to other sections of the
country, though the rooms are rather larger than is common in the North.
