The dwelling has been selected by American Builder Build-er magazine, 30 Church St. New York 7, N. Y., as its Plan No. 36. American Builder says that Walter T. Amcka, the architect, has adopted practical design, sound planning and simple framing fram-ing as architectural principles and thus "comes up with a house that can be reproduced in permanent materials at an absolute minimum cost. The large, divided front window win-dow is a featur of Plan No. 36. With the adjoining plywood panels, pan-els, a striking central motif is crested. Even more interest can be added by the use of dark, contrasting con-trasting colors near the entrance way. . Contrasting materials also are used on the gable ends and the garage docrr. For the roof, the architect suggests shingles of a color which will harmonize pleasingly pleas-ingly with other exterior hues of the house and with the colors of neighboring dwellings. I The dwelling has three bed- rooms, each of ample size. The dining alcove is an extension of the living room, in the modern, informal manner. The kitchen is situated for convenience to the dining alcove.
