Plans 6509 and 6510, for the South and the Middle West, respectively, are
low-cost houses for families that need only one bedroom. The kitchens are
well-arranged and have good storage space. Closet space also is ample for
houses of this size.
A storage and workroom, as shown in plan 6510, is a good feature for
the North but is not so much needed in the South, where mild weather
permits doing much housework outdoors. The living room fireplace and
kitchen range should heat house 6509 comfortably under ordinary southern
conditions, but in the North arrangements should be made for a stove or
circulator heater as in plan 6510.
