Floor areas: Superstructure, 540 square feet. Porches, 60 square feet.
Though the rooms in plan 6506 have been kept as small as possible in
order to reduce cost, good use of space is realized in the arrangement.
Additions to the house would enable it to accommodate an average-sized
family.
A work-porch addition beside the kitchen and living room, between the
windows, would provide a place for laundry work and for hanging outer
wraps. A bathroom might be built by enclosing a portion of the front
porch and enlarging the window to make a doorway from the hall. If
desired, a third bedroom could be added at the end of the living room.
