plan are' the built-in cupboard and
fireplace with tile hearth in the
living -dining roomas well as the;
dining space and U-shaped working/ •:
, area in 'the kitchen The "house is
,designed so,that a future washroom
installed Iii -the basement
-beneath .: the • present; bathroom.
There ' is ` also 'a . furnace 'room, .
workshop, a storage roots) a laundry
arid unfinished playroom in the.base
Ment.
Total " floor area is 1,107 square
feet and the exterior -:dimensions'
are 44 feet -by 26 feet four inches.
