The first-floor and cellar plans of house 6534 are almost the same as the
original unit of no. 6525 (p. 32), but there are comfortable bedrooms,
a bath, and closet space on the second-floor. If funds are available to
build the living room wing indicated, the entire dwelling will breathe
the traditional southern spirit of hospitable spaciousness.
The hall and stair arrangements of this house are very good. Persons
coming in at the back door can leave wraps in the vestibule at the head
of the cellar stairs and go directly to any downstairs room or to the
cellar, yet there is little lost space.
If the house should at some time be occupied by a small family, the
entire upstairs could be shut off. Persons wishing rooms for tourists
will find either the upstairs bedrooms or the downstairs bedroom and bath
very suitable for this purpose.
