THE HOUSE OF THE WEEK KACINE SUNDAY BULLETIN April 10, 1960 Sec. 3. Attractive Setting for Gracious Living By David L. Bowen (AT NcwilMturtO How would you like to buHd a house with practically everything? From the footbridge over the garden pqo! to the front-to- rear flagsloned foyer gallery, this plan has the enviable combination of beauty and space that is the ideal setting for graceful living. The habitable area is 2,392 square feet, large by almost any standard.

But if you can stretch the think someday you will be in a position to build the house you really need the Study Plan for B-5 in the House of the Week series. It was designed by Architect Herman H. York, who decided to include in this plan not barely adequate but fully satisfactory space for a modern large family. 2 Foyers To insure an end to circulation problems, he started off with two in the This large ranch home features a foyer gallery which runs from front all the way to the rear of the house. There are four bedrooms, large kitchen and dinette, luxurious living-dining room and a family room.

L-shaped living and room open to the right of the front foyer and a huge 13 by 17-foot kitchen with balconied dinette and U-shaped work counters overlooks the rear foyer. The family room is one step down on the far side of the dining room, connected by sliding glass doors to the great luxurious rear terrace. Jhe home has baths on the first floor and provision for a third full bath on the basement level in conjunction with a possible maid's room and recreation room.

Exterior has been given a Colonial air, with 12 and 16- light windows, crossbuck main entrance doors and "gingerbread" treatment at garage windows. Wood shingles, stone veneer and vertical boards and battens under the front gVble add to the atmosphere. The over-all width of the B-5 Statistics With eight rooms on the first floor, this ranch home offers 2.392 square feet of livable space on the main level. Recreation room and maid's room can be developed in the basement. There are 2 baths on the ground floor and provision for another full bath in the basement.

It also has sliding glass doors which lead to a bedroom balcony a few 'steps up from the garden terrace.

The other three bedrooms are good-sized and one of these has a walk-in closet. The main bath is handy to all three and has a pair of vanitories separated by a sliding door. Desk In Kitchen Wrought iron railings accent the glamor of the kitchen, dinette and rear foyer area. The bow window insures full visibility over the terrace and a comer is set aside in the kitchen for a planning desk. Only a difference in level and a railing separate the dining and family rooms, so these two have a visual length of 34 feet.

The architect suggests a departure from the usual rectangular shapes in the development of the outdoor area behind the house. He has plotted a free flowing terrace with picnic table and outdoor grill at the family room end and a shallow pool opposite the kitchen. The two-car garage is e.xtra large to make room for a work bench and storage of garden tools. Artist's conception looks across the sunken rear foyer to dinette and kitchen, in the foreground lead to basement recreation room.

THE HOUSE of the WEEK A Quality PUa Selected by 4P I FIX-JT FORUM Through Sun, Wind, Rain or Snow, Roof Is Weathers Prime Target Throughout the year the roof of any home undergoes a continuing process of wear. More than any other exterior surface, the roof is exposed to the effects of sun, rain, wind, snow, sleet, and ice. A good roof provides protection from harsh elements and keeps a family safe and comfortable through the worst of weather. It becomes a factor in efficient heating and cooling and it help to keep down maintenance costs on the rest of the structure.

Damage From Leaks When roof leaks go undetected extensive damage can result, A leaky roof can permit water seepage to ruin wallpaper, paint, and plaster. Seepage may lead to weakened structural timbers and dangerous short circuits in wiring. You can avoid costly repairs such as these by keeping a check on your roof. At least once a in late summer or early a flashlight into the attic soon after a rain and look for damp spots. Make the attic as dark as possible and look for pinpoints of light in the undersurface of the roof.

Look at the from outside to make sure it is smooth and flat and does not show signs of wear.

The roofer also knows that walking on an old roof to make spot repairs often causes new leaks. Asphalt shingles offer a wide range of colors to give added distinction to the house and to help correct desjgn defects. Houses that are too tall appear lower with a dark colored roof and small houses can be made to appear bigger by using lighter shades of roofing. A further advantage of asphalt shingles is that they can be applied directly over the old roof, doing away with the expense and mess of removing the old material.

We'd love it if we could each just hide ourselves for an hour or so every day for reading or what not. We have been thinking about cleaning up our attic and building a little spot where we can get away from it all.

The attic ceiling is low, however, and there is a lot of junk up there. Is there any way of screening it out that would not be too expensive? Do you have suggestions for color schemes?"
