THE JUDSON

George D. Conner Architect.

THIS IS a modern adaptation of the Colonial style. Compact design saves the homemaker steps in this one-story house of five rooms. The front door leads into an entry hall with convenient clothes closet and two doors—one to the long, covered porch and one into the living room. This room, with its fireplace centered along the inner wall, and its large picture window overlooking the street presents a cheery and comfortable spot for the whole family.

The two bedrooms are at the left side of the house. Each has plenty of wall space, a good closet, and cross ventilation. The small hallway has three closets, one of which is for linens. It is placed just outside the door of the tiled bath which has both tub and shower stall.

One of the most striking features of this house is the fact that the kitchen and bathroom are placed back to back for the purpose of economy. The dining room contains one window overlooking the rear, and also French doors leading to the porch. The carefully designed kitchen provides a maximum of cupboards and counters, and in addition has a utility closet conveniently arranged beside the rear entrance. Stairs lead from the kitchen to the basement which contains the heater unit, laundry facilities, and a recreation room the size of the living room.

Although no garage is shown in the plan, a sloping site would permit the inclusion of a garage in the basement under the bedrooms.

This is a small house in the best tradition ... attractive, compact and very economical to maintain.
