DUPLEX BUILDING LIKE RESIDENCE Design Intended for Restricted Residence Location Gives Two Homes. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these sub jects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only Inclose two-cent stamp for reply. This is not a residence converted to duplex use, but was designed to serve the residential requirements of two families. It ■ was • designed to be built in a rather thickly populated, suburban section where certain re strictions operated to prevent the erec tion of what would obviously appear from the outside as a typical flat building. The casual passer-by would assume it to be'a--rather commodious residence of good design, for the two entrance doors are so placed as to give the effect of one wide door. There are two entrance vestibules; as one crosses the threshold ‘ the in terior of each half of the house be comes strictly private, and with no connection with the other. Observe that, the side entrances help carry this feeling of privacy still farther, for one enters the stairway hall, set mid- way back in the house, from the re spective sides. If we £0 in the front door and pass through the vestibule there, we find ourselves in the living: room. This is of good size, 15 feet' by 13 feet, and lias a long French window opening on to the front porch and side windows. A wide door connects with the dining room, 15 feet by 13 feet in size, and a small passage divides it from the kitchen.. The kitchen is 15 feet by 11 , i b Inisi'p' _! iREARPDR Li Kitchen-: ‘ ?-,KiTcntN ! | "™ *t* is'> if H I upflf I \ /•’ -Uf 'I I Dining Rm.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a sleeping porch. A long narrow hall runs by the inner wail, giving all the rooms outside light, and the front bedroom lias its indi vidual lavatory. Thus, this room could be used by the apartment a small family; or it could Kill ‘ f out to a roomer to get a , l(litl ented come, with the family ?" * ters occupying the remaining rooms and sleeping porch. bed ' It Is of course a foregone „„ , that the buildine , a „ plK w - w m§ iiit! w.-j p<w fed fflfe 11 Ba 3] 1 tofiit/ \sr| I ll'-6"1 3-0' | | I l-6-x iy-0‘ | Dedßm fa 1 Li] Bedßh ; nW(f t J: U'-6-*,3-0-.

If the family is small, what objection Would there be to a roomer or two, ns suggested above? Obviously none. The day is gone when it was a sygn of poverty to have a roomer or two; space is he coming so valuable now that It is only good sense to have it used to the best advantage, and- though" there are he tels and rooming houses galore there ■ is a certain type of,roomer willing to pay well for the added quiet and com fort and friendliness of the room > n a pleasant house’in a gbod neighborhood The wide' siding "and the "lute pointing of-this residence helps-to g' e It character., It is not an expensive, house by. any means, and I cornua® it to many prospective house °"b. ■, as a good design to consider. j® I could live in'till's as an’ owner, mane j one'he'ating unit serve both halves ® the house, do thh necessary j n ‘ to work yotlrself, t like tending the u nace in.winter, and the lawn in sui mer, and in a few years have a ' • nest egg toward the building of a ie lar house where you and your an would be the only occupants.
