The diamond shaped dormer window panes, English as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, give an old world air to the entire house. Replace the diamond panels with conventional sash and the cottage becomes as Yankee as Paul Revere. The differences are as simple sim-ple as that! The Oakdale is for the family that loves good sized rooms. Including a full base-ment, base-ment, it cubes about 19,000 cubic feet, by no means the smallest possible house. The living room is really immense, 29 feet long including the dining end. It is 19l feet wide in the deep "L" out of which the attractive at-tractive open stairs arise. One bedroom has over 200 square feet, exceeding Feder- al Housing Administration requirements by 100 per cent. The other has more than 130 square feet. The house features truly luxurious closets. The living room and the large almost square living porch face the rear. The house may thus be placed near the street line to leave all the space possible in the back yard for garden and family recreation. recrea-tion. Even the kitchen entrance is to the front, back of its own service screen. For the small family that can afford to spend a little extra for the luxury of added spaciousness, The Oakdale is an admirable admira-ble design. Complete architect's working drawings and specifications that conform to Federal Housing Administration standards stand-ards and those of National Adequate Wiring Bureau, may be purchased from Housing Plan Service 140 Nassau, New York 7, N. Y. for $7.50 per set. |
