Show The Weekly Supplement To The Rocky Mountain Rerieu- - mm k 14 This Home Has Avant Garde by Pat Kendig from our misMrs. Robert A. Gould said of the three houses she and her husband planned and built prior to their present home at 622 T Street. We learned takes, Some of those improve- ments (learned the hard way) include radiant heat through copper tubing that runs across their ceilings; all hardwood and woodwork; a cabinets plaster molding to separate ceiling from walls so that, their large rooms, it in doesn't seem as if the ceiling is going to fall on your head; a cedar lined wardrobe closet; doors that slide into the wall instead of hinged doors to crowded doorways; an exhaust fan over the stove ,to carry cooking odors to the roof and away and radio operated garage door and steel beam supports. Mr. Disliking cobwebs, Gould had the basement completely finished with plaster so that no rafters arexposed. Every nook and cranny in this is enclosed with basement which have touch cabinets latches to eliminate hardware. There is a specially slotted cabinet for the storm windows with each slot identified as to which window it covers. The bay window in the dining room, (which looks out over the city) required special construction from the ground up in order to take the curve. In the curve of the basement wall, Mr. Gould built a tool bench from which he made all the cabinets. The tile roof conforms perfectly to the curve of the bay window, because Mrs. Gould has neer liked a roof that looks like an eyebrow hanging over the house. All awnings are composed of narrow metal slats. The ceiling of the front porch, instead of the usual ceiling board or plywood, is a pleasant coppery combed cedar.
