Floor areas: Superstructure, 430 square feet. Porches, 145 square feet.
Plans 6504 and 6505 were designed for the central valleys of California,
where outdoor sleeping is invited, by the mild nights.
These were designed for temporary homes to be used later as shops, bunk
houses, storage buildings, or for other uses, so concrete floors are
recommended. Low-cost "frameless" construction is shown in the working
drawings. There are no ceilings. The shower baths shown in the plans can
be installed cheaply.
The kitchens and work porches are large enough for the needs of a
good-sized family. Plenty of windows are provided for ventilation. The
kitchen arrangement shows a wood-burning stove, and a large refrigerator
placed against an inside wall for protection from the outdoor heat. It is
expected that meals will ordinarily be eaten in the kitchen or outdoors.
