' ;Ref cj 48'-0 t 11 P' !j Because of its large number of "livable features," this house has been chosen as Plan No. 40 by American Builder magazine, 30 Church St., New York 7, N. Y. American Builder says: "Entrance to a generous powder pow-der room is accessible from the reception hall. It is also handy to the kitchen. Economy is considered consid-ered by the fact that the fixtures back up to the bathroom wall. A sliding cupboard door closes the opening between powder room and adjoining hall. Lavatory for powder room and bath is a built-in built-in type with cupboards below. "China cabinet and plant shelf divide dining room and reception area. Opposite wall of reception area contains a small plant box with recessed light above. Curtain valance over living room windows provides space for ornamental fluorescent lighting of ceiling. An extended brick facing is obtained in the living room and terrace through the use of a double fireplace fire-place serving both rooms. Bookcases Book-cases fill in the remaining wall area on fireplace side of living room." The home is an attractive example ex-ample of the modern ranch style of design in which the architect, Walter T. Anicka, has specialized. In order to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving an individualized exterior color plan, the architect suggests basing the entire color scheme on the solid or blended hue selected for the asphalt shingle roof. The dwelling has a total living area of 1,312 square feet and a volume of 18,368 cubic feet, figures fig-ures useful in estimating construction con-struction cost.
