Floor areas: Superstructure, 1,740 square feet. Cellar, 385 square
feet. Stoops, 80 square feet.
House 6538 may be roofed in a number of ways, with slight alterations
in the arrangement of the second-floor. The appearance is, of course,
greatly altered; but in each case is pleasing. With the modernistic
flat roof, any waste spaces caused by the sloping roofs in the other
designs are eliminated. The storage room on the second-floor then becomes
suitable for a child's bedroom, a sewing room, or an office, and the
flat-deck porch roof will serve as a sleeping porch.

The plan is simple and well proportioned. Since the arrangement of the
entrance is a little unusual, the location of the driveway and the path
to the barn should be given careful study before deciding upon the site
and placing of the house.

Construction should be simple. In the case of the modernistic house,
concrete or stucco is suggested for the first story and boards and
battens for the second.
