Floor areas: Superstructure, first unit 565 square feet; with first
addition 900 square feet; completed house 1,255 square feet. Porches,
175 square feet.
This begins as a three-room house but is planned so that eventually three
bedrooms and a bath may be added. The kitchen in the original house is
nicely arranged, as shown in the plan. When the house is completed, the
first bedroom may be used as a dining room, with a door cut through from
the kitchen. The range should then be placed against the living room
wall. The fireplace and range will heat the first three rooms. Hall space
for a circulator heater is provided in the first addition.

PLAN 6516,[9] FOR THE SOUTH
Floor areas: Superstructure, original unit 685 square feet; with
first addition 1,035 square feet; completed house 1,345 square feet.
Porches, original 90 square feet; completed house 155 square feet.
The original unit of house 6516 is a two-room structure of ample size.
The dining room and kitchen are combined in one room, while the other
room is temporarily both bedroom and living room. A porch leading
directly into the kitchen affords entrance during the initial stage. In
the center of the first unit are an unusually large storage closet and a
chimney reminiscent of colonial Virginia. In localities where firewood is
not readily available the fireplace may be omitted and a stove used for
heating the bedroom.
[Illustration: PLAN SHOWING FUTURE ADDITIONS]
Additions to the house are indicated on both sides of the original; the
first addition undoubtedly would be that with the bedroom and bath. The
rear porch can be enclosed if needed, and will then serve for laundering
and other work that is more convenient not to do in the kitchen. The
second addition will complete the house with a living room and front
porch.
The addition of the living room and front porch requires considerable
change in the arrangement of the kitchen to keep traffic from the back
door to the living room from passing directly in front of the range. It
will be best to set the range against the end wall, and preferably to
use an electric or oil range so that no new chimney will be required.
After the living room is added, less dining space will be needed in the
kitchen.
