Floor areas: Superstructure, original house, 380 square feet; with
first addition 600 square feet. Porches and entrances, 50 square feet.
Cellar, first unit 380 square feet; with addition 600 square feet.
Plan 6507 is intended for snowy sections, and the first-floor is
purposely raised above the winter snow level. The house can be built in
either one or two stages.
No partition divides the kitchen and living room, which permits
heating the house with the kitchen range in mild weather. It also aids
ventilation in summer and facilitates serving of meals in the living room.
The steps to the cellar are outside the house, protected by a storm door.
There is ample space in the cellar for laundry and storage. A cistern
under the kitchen provides soft water.
