Radford's House Designs of the Twenties - Wm. A. Radford Co.
The Waldo
FOR EITHER A WIDE OR A NARROW LOT
NO matter what kind of a site you have for your house, this little bungalow is pretty apt to fit it. If the lot is as narrow as 30 feet, put the dining room-porch end toward the street; if you have a wide but shallow lot, put the broadside toward the street. And you can face this house in any direction.
The Shawnee
DO YOU BELIEVE THE DINING ROOM IMPORTANT?
THE one in this house is unusually situated, of large size and of convenient proportions. It is distinct from the living room and, because a pantry and hall intervenes between them, from the kitchen. It has its own outlet to the front hall and a broad triple window that makes it bright and easily ventilated at all times. Of course there are other important points about this plan, too, but the dining room is worth special attention.
The Morley
ONLY SKILLFUL PLANNING COULD PRODUCE SUCH A SECOND FLOOR LAYOUT
A S you can see from the plan, the main body of this house is only 28 by 27 feet on the ground. The second floor ceiling line is really less, because this is a story-and-a-half house. Yet, you have here three bedrooms, the two smaller having considerably over one hundred square feet each of floor space. In addition, you have five closets extraordinarily large, even with cut ceilings. After all, it’s the number and size of the bedrooms that is the index to the size of a house, and here is one that scores high. The Morley will fit a 35 or 40-foot lot.
