Alternate extensions are shown, the choice probably depending upon
the surrounding ground contour. Addition _B_ should receive first
consideration, because it brings the two new bedrooms into closer
relation with the bathroom and does not destroy the washroom adjoining
the rear entrance. It does, however, reduce the size of one of the first
bedrooms.
If addition _A_ is contemplated, the window at _X_ should be located at
_Y_ when the first unit is built. The steps in the hall of addition A may
be omitted if the ground slopes down at the rear so that the floor of the
addition can be built at a lower level than the floor of the original
house.
If addition _B_ is to be used, the window at _Z_ should be located so as
to come in the hall of the addition.

PLAN 6524[16]
Floor areas: Superstructure, first unit 1,245 square feet; with
addition 1,735 square feet. Porches, 25 square feet. Cellar, 400
square feet.
The charm of house 6524 lies in its informality and simplicity. It is
built for comfort and service. The broad expanse of roof, relieved by a
gable, gives it a substantial yet homelike appearance. This is an easy
house to move around in, and the kitchen is very nicely arranged. The
screened porch, in addition to providing a cool and inviting summer
dining and work space, affords ready access to all the rooms of the
house. If the future addition of bedrooms is contemplated, the hall
window in the first unit should be replaced with a door. This will not
only provide an extra exit from the house but obviate unnecessary cutting
and tearing out when the addition is built.
The cellar provides space for a central heating plant, it desired.

Floor areas: Superstructure, first unit 795 square feet; with bedroom
addition 1,080 square feet; with both additions 1,375 square feet.
Porches, 105 square feet. Cellar, 795 square feet.
This simple farmhouse develops into a home of dignity and charm. The
original unit furnishes all modern conveniences and an ample basement.
Future bedrooms may be added as required, while the extended living room
might be built as the final touch of growing prosperity.
